The Moonshiner's Leghorns

[The Moonshiner]

I Googled and found this. Seems McMurray is the only one that has it in stock right now though. Is this the same variety, @The Moonshiner ???

Yes its the same. I believe @Miami Leghorn got his from them.
It's common with any non white or brown variety Leghorns to be advertised but out of stock.

That makes sense! They’re probably pretty popular. Seems McMurray also has reds which are sold out. If/when I ever get chickens again I want to have a bunch of leghorns of all different varieties

I only had a white but I loved her and all her mixed offspring. I need more.

Working on a double sex linked blue duckwing.
What would be best to use on both sides?
Just wanted you to double check my game plan.

Silver female slow feather with gold male fast feather?

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 got some from Murray McMurray. Not superb quality though

Don't get the reds. Worse quality that my silver, and you'd know what I mean if I had usable pictures to post of her

Thanks! That’s good to know. Did they at least lay well?

The silver lays great. She's just ugly as a sinful butt. Didn't even bother keeping the red long enough to see if her laying made up for her frail health and runtiness

I'm not gonna find a slow feathering Leghorn so that's out.

Yes gold on male side. Silver on female side.
Need another sex link combo.
Need what will produce duckwing
Need what will produce only blues
