White Leghorn

[Obyli]

When will she be ready? T.T

Well, I have a leg horn and I thought she was ready when she looked like yours, but their combs get huge and hang over to the side. Their wattles also get real....they hang I guess lol.


Looks like you have at least 3-4 weeks

How old is your Leghorn?

 

[christina1982]

She was born around the March 8th.

If I am correct they lay white eggs and haven't seen one yet...I think I have a new pic of her, that way U can show you what she looks like...


The Leghorn is the one on the right...

My leghorn is 19 weeks now.

Although your pullet has the body type of a white leghorn she does not have white earlobes. When she starts laying, please post the color of her eggs. I'm guessing that she may be a hatchery quality white rock.

Do the Silver Leghorns also have white earlobes? Now I need to go check mine. I know that my OEGBs have white earlobes but I never paid that close of attention to the two silver leghorns.

All of the leghorn varieties that I have seen/owned have had either white or cream tinted earlobes. Not sure about silver leghorns ???

I got my white leghorns from Meyer hatchery.

I bought 2 hen and 1 roo but 1 hen died because of my dog.
I am sure the roo is a white leghorn because it has pretty leghorn weight and huge comb and waddle. It also have yellowish earlobe so i think my hen is also a white leghorn.
