What does "mixed LF" mean?

[Goose and Fig]

Sorry- I think someone called my black cochins that and I don't know what it means.

I would assume mixed means mutt. LF = large fowl (not bantams).

 

[Goose and Fig]

Ok- well I guess it wasn't my cochins because they are banties.

Depending on how it is used it could mean a variety of large fowl: cochins, ameraucanas, asil & leghorns, etc. or it could mean mixed breed.

OK-that makes sense- but now I'm even more confused. I sent cochin banty eggs for the June swap. The person told me that 3 were pipping and 2 were zipping. Then they said that all of their swap eggs died 1/2 way through incubation except for 3 LF mixed.

 

[KellyHM]

Maybe they're confused about what they got.

 

[Goose and Fig]

Yeah- maybe so. I'm so dissappointed- thought my eggs actually made it through the mail ok.

The heat is really rough on them this time of year...
