The Moonshiner's Leghorns

[The Moonshiner]

#2 is a mixed pattern.
They just don't have a typical leghorn look. Body shape is off, comb size looks off, etc. But if I remember correctly youre not from the state's so hard to judge since most here are from the US and aren't used to breeds being somewhat different in other parts of the world.

Yes I agree and because we are from such a small country with very tight biosecurity we have very little to work with and quite a few breeds you can get in the States dont even exist here.

Are #1 and #2 blue cuckoos?

No1 was blue as a chick, no2 was a brown chick

#2 is a mixed pattern.

The lady I got them from had a "Furnace" coloured Leghorn project so im thinking this could be a chick from that pen

Furness?

Furness?

yes sorry

Furness is basically a Melanized form of Wheaten like Brassy Back but instead of e+(wildtype) it's based on Wheaten. Search for Furness Cochin and you will see what is the Furness look

No such pattern in any breed.
There's silver laced which is a black laced white bird.
I've never seen that pattern on a leghorns though.

I’ve seen blue laced red Leghorns so I wouldn’t be surprised.
But I can’t find pictures now.
