[sourland]

Light brown leghorns - productive and pretty

 

[gimmie birdies]

what do light brown leghorns legs look like? yellow or light whiteish? I have hens from Meyer's rare chickens, they look like they could be brown leghorns or olive eggers, I have see pic on google with brown's that have yellow-ish legs, and ones with more white. Mine have more white. once they lay I will know.

.....hard to choose just ONE breed....

I will go with one BREED that has a lot of color diversity......

Bantam cochin.

Good color options
Good mothers
Mellow roosters
Cute to look at

Not good layers and the eggs are tiny.....that just means I NEED MORE CHICKENS!!!

I'm going to have say Easter Eggers. Ok, they're not a breed. But that's what makes them so great! They're a mutt, and come in a variety of colors and their eggs come in a variety of colors, so having a flock of just Easter Eggers is like having a huge variety of chickens! Plus, my EE, Falcon, is just the best ever.

Look at that FACE! Who could say "no" to that?! (Don't mind Salt - the SLW - trying to horn in on Falcon's photo op!)

She is so very pretty, and from certain angles, even majestic!

THEY ARE SOOOO FUN!!! I adore my Bantam Cochins!!!

I would say BANTAMS...
But... if we have to narrow it down to one breed...ugh... I would choose the Dutch Bantams. They are just sooooo calm, intelligent and cuddly. All my other Bantam breeds come in an extremely close second place to the Dutch. Really too hard to choose!! But yes, the Dutch are #1 for me. Here are a few of my Dutch:
