The Moonshiner's Leghorns

[Chookwagn]

That is so cool

Cool it is.... can't wait for spring

I have a feeling both cuckoo ones are going to be boys... also 1 has dark legs and the other light... will be interesting to see if they change much as they grow

Gah, the flightiness has started getting on my nerves was moving my grow outs to their new pen and out of 9 leghorns, I got just the Isabella trio and my broken toed silver moved. The other silvers (2) the rose combed brown, the red and the second Isabella male all squeezed out of the bin and are now running amuck looking for literally probably another 60 birds that were there this morning.

Still gorgeous as sin though

Also named my Isabella trio and my rose comb:
Hamilton for the male and Aneglica and Eliza for the females. Mrs. Reynolds for the rose comb. Bonus points to anyone who guesses the inspiration.

My two lavender BC pullets are keeping the theme as Burr and Theodosia

I am rolling.
Been there done that sooo many times.
I've moved about 250- 300 the last two days.
I'm a machine. Be scooping out multiples in one hand and netting others in mid flight with the other hand.
I honestly use the boy as a spotter to head count escapees so I know how many I have to round up.

I'm the one laughing. I just walk up, bend over and pick mine up.

Yeah, my two barred boys were that easy during the move. Gonna be sad when we move them or cull them.

My hands are small, so I've just got enough to grab a standard, /maybe/ two bantams. The dollar store net I have truly is a dollarstore net, it's already bent and torn.

On the other hand though, if I were to use a barred male and a female with dominant white lacing, what would happen?

I'm sure a predator could do the same.
I started when I was free ranging. I wanted something that was aware enough to survive.

Yet who's the one with predator losses?

I think if you lost yours Overo the percentage lost would be more
