The Moonshiner's Leghorns

[BlueBaby]

I know!! I am so happy!! Just a few short months ago, I was sick of hatching and brooding chicks.

It's an addiction.

And just for funsies, here are updated pics of my best Buff cockerel and the Crele.

Apparently the Buff and the Red pullet are more than friends now.

Addiction, mental disorder. Tomato, to-mah-to.

Well, as long as he makes you happy, that's all that matters.

We normally are not a fan of white chickens, but the performance of the white leghorns certainly makes us make an exception. They out-lay any other bird we have.

Well, good luck on the hatch! It better be chicks, and not tomatoes though.

A chicken addiction.
We be chickaholics. Hatchaholics too, some of youens. I probably will be, some day. only i'll be raising Ams. Can I still come hang out here in LegHorn Land? You guys are fun. And funny.

I sure do like the look of that Buff rooster. I gotta go to bed. My typos are awful! Good night, y'all.

I think if you are a chickaholic and a hatchaholic, you fit in just fine here.

Goodnight! I am up late doing stretch and folds on my sourdough as usual.

And thank you! He is a really sweet bird.

I have my flock down to 20ish…? All of them are from this year’s hatches. Mr Floppy the RIR rooster has 9 pullets. At least 6 of them are laying. My flock of Eggers (or mutts) are led by a predominantly white no name rooster with green tail feathers. None of my egger pullets are laying yet. They were my last group to hatch and I suspect it will be January before they start laying.

My rooster guy is either going to find me some OEGBs to breed or I will get some hatching eggs from him when his young ones start laying. He has fawn duckwing and BB red.

I’m still working on converting the 2nd doublewide trailer we acquired from the purchase of adjoining property into a proper shop. I just turned the power back on so I can see what I’m doing and actually be able to operate saws and other fun things. I will have a busy winter. Thankfully our winters are not as brutal as MO winters so I don’t hate it quite like Moony does. I’m doing all this while still working out of town so I get one day a week to work on this project plus all the other things around the house that need my attention. Good times

Ugh, 1 day a week doesn't sound like enough. By Thanksgiving to Dec. 1st, sometime in there I'll be back to 3 days a week off. I enjoy that and appreciate the one less day to drive to work per week in the winter but it's not the best for doing much outdoors unfortunately. Not complaining though.

I'm liking all these boys you're posting.
With chickens though it's almost always that the boys look cooler to me.
