The Moonshiner's Leghorns

[BigBlueHen53]

Oh hey, if you want to be bothered, that can be arranged. I see the Duckwing characteristic now that Chook has pointed it out! Is this a variety that is commercially available? (See, I can be a bother! All my life I've been called "Trouble" for a reason! )

I think there's still at least a couple hatcheries that offer them.
Pretty sure they all label them as "silver Leghorns"

 

[The Moonshiner]

Thank you. And now one more, then I really must take my leave. Did you originate the variety?

No I didn't originate the variety but I did originate the ones I have.

 

[The Moonshiner]

But was I right about the feathering? Or is it switched?

Ya you were right.
Fast feathering male. Slow feathering female

Do you still have those, Mr. Moon? Maybe you should patent them. Moony's Silver Duckwing or some such. I'd buy some in spite of my present ban against Leghorns. I'd even buy 'em a separate coop if they breed true ... AND buy an incubator. Good grief, what am I saying! I would, though.

Nah, he's counting down the tracking for the box of eggs he sent me.

Though after this long in the mail, they might be pipped in this heat

Moony sells hatching eggs????

And he's in my state???


Oh my.

Moony. D'you still have any of those pretty silver duckwing things?

No he doesn't.

I'm afraid it's worse than that...
