New to Backyard chickens. We are trying to confirm sex and breed. We were told they are Leghorns.

I have had Cornish cross and they are my favorite pet chickens I’ve ever had. She layed one egg almost everyday. I actually got another one because they are my favorite! Mine lived over 2 years and died from an attack, she would have lived longer. She was one of my best friendsI just wouldn’t keep males because of size.

This is mine at four months now and she is doing awesome! They need a large space and automatic feeders are not good because it overfeeds them. You should keep the girls!

So what size egg do they lay? You've given me hope!

Mine layed large eggs. They were white and sometimes a almost white, cream color. I would wait till they were older and had saddle/sickle feathers to sex them. My girl had a rooster looking comb.
