I miss having leghorns. They were such wonderful chickens.

I tend to think so too

I'd be happy to oblige! I have some pre-molt photos as well:

The one in my profile pic is much better quality because it was taken with a real camera- the rest used a phone.

LOVE LOVE LOVE MY LEGHORNS! Some say they are flighty. I must be the lucky one. Mine are wonderful and let me handle them without hassle. Yours are beautiful!

Hope everyone is having a blessed day! I am roasting a butternut squash and some Brussel sprouts for dinner. They will sit along side a nice chunk of meatloaf.

My girl is a bit skittish, but I didn’t get these guys as babies- I’m confident that if I had, she’d be much better about it. She’s definitely my favorite- I love her looks and personality!

Is this entire thread just a leghorn fan club?

I only have one brown leghorn. I think she’s the prettiest bird I’ve ever had. I’ve had other breeds that I’d call cute but leghorns are so elegant. She is also the sharpest one, she knows what’s going on and where I am way before the others do. She isn’t cuddly but she is very friendly. Looks you right in the eye! Yes I think this is a Leghorn fan club!

The whole world should be fans!

I'm feeling a lot better today.

Glad to hear that!

Yes I think this is a Leghorn fan club!

I may join that club someday... I think I'd get the brown, as the white ones probably wouldn't stay white.

How do they get along with Jersey Giants, Orpingtons, and Australorps?

I personally don’t like the coloring of light browns, but dark browns? *chef’s kiss*

Tillie has always stayed white, aside from when she got Vaseline on her feathers (long story) and dirt stuck to it and stained her somehow.

I don’t have any of those, but I’ve never heard of any breeds not getting along aside from warring roosters, and non crested or smooth feathered birds picking on crested birds, or frizzled or silkied birds.
