The Moonshiner's Leghorns

You left out the part where I said to move the MF to the top of the project list.

Also.... More heavy birds are needed.
@OneHappyRooster

Disagreed. Lighter weights are needed.

Fair point!!!

Theyre still in the works. Didn't do much with them this year. I will next year.
Not easy to make progress with every project every season with limited pens, brooders, incubator space, etc.
Not to mention not owning a feed mill. Also Mare is constantly on me about quit hatching so many, you already have too many, you need to sell some, etc.

Seriously though.
Keep me posted. Chicks or eggs.
I'll take either or both.

I had hefty birds (orps) that I got out of to concentrait on the leghorns. I liked them but wasn't impressed with the slow maturity rate and amount of feed it took to get them there.
Don't tell anyone but I actually still have a few birds that aren't leghorns. Here's a couple hefty ones.

Very pretty! My hefty birds are Heritage Cornish. Dark and Dark/white crosses. Even when culled at 12-14 weeks they are still nice and plump. They are heavier than they look because of their hard feathering.

I love your old Orpington pictures! They were some good looking birds! Not that the Leghorns aren't gorgeous too.
