The Moonshiner's Leghorns

[Chookwagn]

Off the top of my head you could turn those 5 into 13. 18 really but 5 wouldn't be ideal except for breeding purposes.

I only have blue hens, no roosters
1 Black rooster
1 Single gene Cuckoo rooster
1 Double gene Cuckoo rooster

Chicks at the moment
Silver DW rooster
Gold DW roosters

This does not sound like near enough.
And how is this even possible? Didn't you hatch a lot last year?
Don't tell me you've been getting rid of some.......

Show him that nice F250 you bought with your chicken money.

Absolutely
Anything I do with leghorns can be done with any other breed as long as you can the right colors/patterns to start with.
I've always wanted people to understand that. I'm not showing what you can do with leghorns per say but what you can do with colors/patterns.

So… I have no limit to how many different patterns of chickens I can have?!

You do. You can only have 3. Moony said so.

But nobody except the government and my parents can tell me what to do, so I can have as many as I want!!!!! Rainbow hens!!!!!

Yeh I got rid of a lot.....

 

[ColtHandorf]

Correct
You should just start mixing everything together. You'll get lots of interesting patterns and maybe some ultra rare stuff. Do it, do it

I second this!

Let's say I got very drunk and entertained this notion...What are we talking about? Not that I have the space for the varieties I do have, without making more.

I've got the following varieties:

- Black
- Black Mottled
- Blue
- Blue Mottled
- Splash
- Splash Mottled
- Mauve
- Mauve Mottled
- Buff
- Chocolate
- Chocolate Mottled
- Chocolate Cuckoo
- Lavender Cuckoo
- Gold-laced
- Chocolate Gold-laced
- Isabel Lavender-laced
- Lavender
- Lavender Mottled
- Recessive White
- Red
- Silver-laced

I plan on working on Lavender Silver-laced and Blue Silver-laced already.
