    Is anyone working on a Chocolate Mottled Leghorn project?

    I have some Exchequer leghorn hens to use with him. He's also with the chocolate and mauve Orpingtons, or so I was told. Either way it's a project and I'm interested to see what I get.

    Is anyone working on a Chocolate Mottled Leghorn project?

    Interesting! I used to have the Exchequer Leghorn cock that I breed to what I was told was a Chocolate Orpington hen, which I also have, to create him. I'll have to take pictures. Recessives are fun! I love anything mottled anyways. 😊

    Is anyone working on a Chocolate Mottled Leghorn project?

    Thanks for the input! I hope my luck plays out well. I hadn't considered the egg color so thanks for mentioning that. I'm hoping within the next 5-10 years to have something closer to Leghorn. I'm definitely posting pictures once I'm there.

    Is anyone working on a Chocolate Mottled Leghorn project?

    I'm starting this project! Right now I have a bird who's black and is split for both chocolate and mottled. He's half Exchequer Leghorn and half Chocolate Orpington. I'm actually also working a second project with him to eventually breed Chocolate Mottled Orpingtons too. So I'm growing out my...

    Exchequer Leghorn Breeders

    Kindlingfarm was the name of the seller on eBay where I bought the eggs. She shows and raises bantams and sells exchequer leghorn eggs. Her breeding stock isn't from a hatchery. It doesn't look like she has any for sale at this point on eBay.

    Sold as Buff Columbian bantam cochins, but are they?

    I do plan to show, but not these birds. I'm growing out some buffs and a white for that possibility. These birds are more of a hobby project.

    Sold as Buff Columbian bantam cochins, but are they?

    It came from someone who breeds and sells bantam cochins. I messaged her, but she wouldn't answer. She shows birds too. Searching goggle, I'm not finding much about that pattern. I'm only seeing a bird that doesn't look like mine. These birds are only 5 months so they'll come into their color a...

    Sold as Buff Columbian bantam cochins, but are they?

    Thank you both! That definitely helps! Does the hen seem to be Furness? I hadn't heard of it until the other day, but I couldn't find any examples that look like her. I understand if she's just a mess of color.

    Sold as Buff Columbian bantam cochins, but are they?

    So I bought these at a local fair for $25 for the pair and they were labeled as Buff Columbian bantam cochins. Others have said they aren't and one person mentioned that the hen was actually Furness and not buff columbian. Are there any Cochin color experts or chicken geneticist that could...

    Expectations of Npip in Maine

    I'm looking for information on getting Npip certified. Like what's the expectations of how the coops/runs are set up? Do they test all your birds in each run even if they aren't being shown or bred, for sale? My personal laying hens are seperate from the ones I'll use for...

    Exchequer Leghorn Breeders

    Hi, I'm looking for good quality Exchequer Leghorn chicks or hatching eggs. Are there any good breeders in the New England area? I'm in Maine. I have a nice almost 1 year old hen now so I wouldn't mind a good quality rooster either. Thank you for any information!
