The Moonshiner's Leghorns

Yes. 5 buffs.

Yipee!

How exciting, and I'm still sitting here wanting to fill my incubators up to with some Leghorn's. Your's are so pretty.

How many eggs..... min - max?

Whatever you'd want to send to me. I'm not greedy. I'd just be happy to have some, even in any of the colors that you have. I know that you are busy doing some hatching of your own to keep your stock of them up.

And whenever you get some eggs from the barred ones, don't forget me! (Hey, I'm not above begging.)

I grabbed a few pictures of my best 2 Silver Leghorn cockerels and my 2 pullets. The Silver Ginger male and female project birds are in there too.

One still in the incubator. It had a hard time hatching and may not make it but I'll count it.

That’s a nice hatch!

I lost one of the Buff cockerels free ranging. Amongst a few others that are venturing too far from home. We are thinking the neighbor’s Pyrenees has acquired a taste for chicken.

On the Silver Gingers, I’m thinking about using only the little pullet from the project (green legged), mated to one of the Silver Leghorn males. To avoid creating more silver/gold males to cull through. This would create more silver duckwing females that are yellow legged, some of which would be split for Db. I would likely only use the females from that mating, and cull the males to avoid carrying green legged genes any further. The non split for Db females could be used in the Silver line possibly, but very very carefully to avoid muddying up the line.

The split for Db females should be easily to pick out. The split Db females usually have blotchy white patches in their breast feathers.

Oh man chicken killing dogs can do a lot of damage. Hoping this don't get ugly.
Bout done keeping up with making sure my traps are baited. Think it's probably gotta be mice eating the cat food out of them. Nothing caught after the 2nd skunk so I'll go back to setting in a couple weeks.
Did catch another large egg eating snake. Tired of those big time.
