The Moonshiner's Leghorns

Oh....blue gold duckwing. I feel dumb.

Getting my byms down in number so that I just have my Silver Ameraucana, my Crested EE project, last of my Phoenix and my Dutch/OEGBs.

Are you thinking five to seven years till you get back to legitimately calling them Leghorn again?

You can call them Leghorn when the birds breed true to Leghorn type, size, and characteristics. Once the birds start coming consistently yellow legged, white ear lobed, laying white eggs, with a Leghorn body type and size, you can then call them Leghorns. So it depends on how you breed after the initial outcross.

For example, I will be able to call the offspring produced by the 4th generation of my Crele Leghorn project true Crele Leghorns, and that generation will produce double barred males and single barred females, completely free from the crest gene and blue egg gene.

Wanted to share a picture of the incomplete Black Tailed Red Leghorn pullet I caught up to breed.

She will be single mated to her brother, my best incomplete Black Tailed Red cockerel. He is maturing out to be a very nice looking bird.

That color red is pretty.

That color red is pretty.

I think so too! I look forward to seeing the complete Black Tailed Reds produced from them. Can't wait until I get to fire the incubators back up.
