I just wanted to see what everybody thought of the show in Sparta. I had a blast. I can not wait until next year.

I was wondering does anybody know if they ever have shows in Overton or Dekalb County ?

DmRipp I hope you keep those leghorns till spring,I may just have to get some of those hatching eggs then. Been years since I have had leghorns but I always love the looks of the roos when I see them! Its nice to know yours aren't the flighty type.Thats the one draw back to the breed for me.

I am going to KEEP my leghorns.... LOVE the eggs. I just have a trio for breeding but I have about 8 other WL pullets and a few more growing out. I am going to set some in the next batch... if I don't sell them first.

Help !!! this is my first time to post on BYC I don't know whether I am in the right place or not so please tell me if I am not. My question is a avery novice one
I have 12 hens mostly production reds that are pretty much the same age I figure , I bought them at the local feed store with the tag on each that they are all most old enough to start laying any day that has been a couple of months now and I get a couple eggs a week and the same holds true with my 2 roosters they don't crow at all and they for sure seem to be old enough. I had a goup of chickens I raised from day olds to egg laying age and they laid like crazy and the roosters crowed like a rock band but mr. Coon killed them one night I have since spent a fortune coon proofing my coop. so now I have the Ft. Knox of pens but no egg production or rooster crwoing what I am doing wrong ? The birds are healthy
