#leghorn

Hi there! I have recently acquired a flock of 10 hens. The hen in the photo attached is the last one left to be identified. Is this a welsummer or a brown leghorn? The white lobe led me to believe it was a leghorn, but I want to think it’s actually a welsummer because I already have a white...

Hello everyone, My 3 year and 4 month old leghorn hen has just been experiencing a hard/solid crop and is repeatedly adjusting her crop (even when she is roosting/sleeping). She is still acting perfectly fine, eating/drinking normally and is active. I'm not so sure about how her poop looks like...

Hello everyone, My 3 year and 3 months leghorn hen has been experiencing a bloated abdomen lately. A few days ago, she was egg bound as i saw her pushing, but soon after I didn’t see any egg come out of her and she was fine afterwards. Then I started to see her abdomen looking unusual and big...

Hello everyone, I need your help right now, my 2 year & 10 month old leghorn hen started laying soft shelled eggs a month ago. I started to feed her 1 calcium tablet (600mg) daily for 4 days but didn't see her lay an egg anymore, so I stopped with the tablets. At that time, she was still acting...

I need help :( over the last two or so days I’ve noticed my White Leghorns wings have been drooping and she keeps falling asleep in the middle of the day, and just overall doesn’t look great. I’ve been finding one egg nearly everyday that doesn’t have a hard shell… I’d say for probably the last...

Hello everyone, my 2nd leghorn (Shyshe) acts kind of broody for the past 3 days or so. So this is how it works everyday at around 12pm she lays her egg and then she gets out of her nest box and starts eating, playing around with her other chicken friends but then at around 4-5pm she goes back...

Hello everyone, my rooster has been recently aggressive with my 3 hens when it comes to mating. I found out to buy a saddle for them and it's coming in 2 days! But the problem is I'm not sure if it will fit on my leghorn and will my leghorn like it? I know that one of my easter eggers will...

Hello everyone, I have 4 cute chickens and one of them "Smiley" (Leghorn) acts like she is broody but I'm not quite sure though. It's very rare for leghorns to be broody from what I know. She has been clucking a little and puffing her feathers out whenever I come close to her, BUT she does NOT...

These are my new chicks. I’m not sure how old. I’m guessing between 1 week and 2? I’m not sure what some of them are. We are supposed to have 2 Rhode Island Reds, 2 White Leghorns, 2 Amberlinks, and 1 Barred Rock, but I’m not sure about the other 3. The two reds are Thelma and Louise The two...

today was a sad day :( my sister's white leghorn (Yello) abruptly died. well, not so quite abruptly... maybe around late 2020, like november, we saw her getting chased around by the other chickens. we picked her up to see her butt extremely bloody. We snipped off her butt feathers and cleaned...

One of my Leghorns.

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I've just recently got my first flock of chickens, only last week. Although this is my first flock, I have helped a friend take care of her Easter Eggers. (2) How many chickens do you have right now? I have 13 pullets, ages range...

hi I just wanted to know if my leghorn is female or male? It’s bigger than the other 5 chicks I have they are all the same age and it has bigger legs too. The comb is also bigger than the rest. I have 4 Ameraucana and 1 australorp, I know they are females but i would like to know if this leghorn...

So I have had chickens for many years and this, was the first time this has ever happened to me. To say the least it was an interesting experience for not only peanut but also myself. I got the egg out safely but everything has not gone back to normal. Anyone have any experience with this?
