The Moonshiner's Leghorns

He is a lovely color though! The ghost barring is beautiful! (I don’t know what else to call it as I am not well versed in all color varieties). Is that a khaki crele?

It is indeed khaki crele. He's a bit sun bleached or he would look more silver.

I have a OEGB with an uglier comb. I mean look at it. It's giving you the finger, lol.

It looks like it is slinging gang signs or something! Dub that thing and put that poor comb out of its misery!

I have never dubbed anything so I'm a bit nervous about attempting it.

It is a shame we have nicer combs on the Games and they end up dubbed off. This one isn’t perfect, but nicer than old Saw Blade. Huh, I guess the Red Leghorn has got himself a name now. Mmmhmm. Oh wait, that’s Sling Blade.

Do it when its cold with a sharp pair of good scissors. It won’t bleed as bad. My husband trims (dubs) the comb, wattles, and earlobes off close. But in show, they want a portion of the base of the comb left for some reason, I’m not sure why because it looks hideous.

You just have to get some from good stock.

And there's the dilemma.
There once was one person in the area that had some but they've since got out of chickens.
I had some when they first came out. Some laid green and I was also getting some of the white chicks before they became a thing. I was breeding away from both but then others decided green eggs should be ok and went about adding that to the SOP they were working on. That's when I walked away from them.
I did like them as a breed though.

Move to Missouri. Winter will dub them for you.

My Dutch bantams have nice combs.

Greenfire Farm has the Jill Rees line that I have, that is where mine came from. If you get the better version they have, they will lay pure blue eggs. They all potentially carry recessive white.

I had some from both of their lines. Problem was was I got them from someone that got both but didn't keep the chicks separated before giving them to me.
I can't complain though. That's when they were still pricey and I traded MF D'Uccles for them
