WHAT is up with my Leghorn.???

[paulandashia]

Stillie (My 3 year old White Leghorn girl) is one of the sweetest, friendliest birds I have. I raised her since she was a teeny, tiny peep, but she is NOT your average leghorn! She is HUGE! AND, she has SPURS like a rooster.!!! LoL
Is this normal.???

I would be worried that she is a Roo, only, she lays me an egg every single day.!!! (Yes, even now, when she is 3 years old! LOL)

Oh, and how do I post a photo? I tried all the links in Photobucket, and no luck! LoL



Here she is next to a Jersey Giant, and then with 2 Dominiques....

And here is a photo of her spurs.!!! (Well, one spur, since the other is on the back of the leg that is upftont)

Many breeds have hens with spurs (older hens). She seems not too big to me. May be JG is too small .

Maybe.
I have another Leghorn hen though (Jumpie), that is half her size, and I have 3 other JG's besides Blackie, (Ebony, Onyx and Coal), and they are all the same size....

Stillie just seems so large to me for her breed....
A friend of mine has 4 leghorns, and they are all half her size. And none of them have spurs either..... (They all came from the same place too)

I was just wondering....
