In the Brooder
This is my leghorn. I saved her from a pack(14) of barred rocks. She was about 18 weeks old when I got her. Named her Foggy. She is quicker than lightning, and has flown into the neighbors yard once. I had 6 original hens that I raised from week old chicks. They will still throw an occasional peck her way. They are all 6 months old now. Foggy is laying nice white eggs almost every day. She is very smart....instead of being bullied by the other hens, she will run by them and grab a choice piece of melon or other morsel right out of their beaks and keep on running. She also talks to me, and loves to climb up on the laying boxes, and have me pick her up for a little visit. I have to admit she is my favorite.
