The Moonshiner's Leghorns

When my Exchequer Leghorn pullet first feathered in her tail feathers were mostly white, but now they are mostly black.

Those pictures are legit hilarious. My Anconas act like sometimes but my Leghorns try to avoid being seen.

I tried a few years in a row to buy some Dark Browns from Duane Underwood and was unsuccessful. The only person here on BYC I know of who has them is @cmom, very nice birds. They are really hard to find.

My birds are Rose Comb Dark Brown Leghorns.

Ya I remember yours. Not only rose comb dark browns but really nice rose comb dark browns.
I don't mind rose combs I can breed them out for singles. I was just thinking about using a couple for an experiment project.

@ChicKat
See the above dark brown. Thats a great top line and tail set.

Thanks M. Congrats on your hatch!!

Love it when there are picts!

Agree that Bramah Chicken 5000's action shots are top flight. Good documentation too of her going from white-tail to black-tail feathers.

I just can't resist loading this snapshot...this was last night... what you're seeing here is a small flock of chicks in full stride ...my Leghorn chicks were chasing one of their Brethren who had just caught a bug and it was making a run for it and they were chasing him across back and forth...looked like a defensive line chasing a runner towards the goal line.
Things only a chicken nerd would enjoy...
Video on YTube to upload soon.

Guess which egg is from my Exchequer Leghorn. The 2 on the sides are from my bantam hens.
