    Raising my own crossbred hens

    Does anyone out there have experience using either Partridge Rock Rooster or Brown Leghorn rooster over assorted hens for egg laying? I have reds, rocks, delaware and australorp hens and would like some hybrid egg layers. Thanks

    Brown Leghorn Comb is HUGE

    Hi! First time with a leghorn and she is a true leghorn. Used to sleep in trees and is finally laying beautiful white eggs over the last several weeks her comb has just kept growing and flopped over very quickly.

    Pullet Surprise!

    At 18 weeks and 2 days, one of my Brown Leghorn pullets has blessed me with my first white egg! I'm so tickled! I've pictured it between the other two eggs I got today for comparison purposes. My older flock consists of EEs and BOs. And - it was in one of the nests, with the golf balls, so...

    Brown leghorn turning white

    This girl is about 18 months. After her fall molt some of her feathers came in white. I'm wondering what might cause the white feathers?

    Buff orpington x brown leghorn

    I have a buff orpington rooster (Fabio) that my brown leghorns love. I'm just curious what kind of cross that would make. Does anyone have a cross between the two and do you have pictures?

    Breed confusion

    Hi everyone, I hope someone here can help me figure out what kind of chickens I have! I purchased two of what I was told were Welsummer chickens when they were two months old, hatched on February 13th.

    Rescue Chickens (and a runaway)

    Oh wow... yesterday was a crazy day. I finally have time to post about it. So. It all started with an email from a fellow chicken-lover who knew I was in CT. I clicked the attached link, and up came a Craigslist ad for 3 hens that were 10 minutes away from me. It stated right there in the ad...

    "Special" leghorn? Question

    I joined BYC about a year ago asking for help with one of my girls because Google didn't have any answers. All they could give me were suggestions. I ended up separating her from the flock in case her condition was contagious and she ended up being alone for almost a month. My parents said i...

By April it was finished so I went to the local feed store after researching which chickens I wanted. I came home on April 22 with a large barred rock, a tiny fluffy buff Orpington, a brown...

    Is it ok to let your hens be broody?

    I already know that there's no real harm to hens that go broody, but more specifically, is it okay to let my hen be broody if there is no rooster or eggs for her to hatch? My brown leghorn hen has been broody for about a week and a half, possibly two weeks now. She had just started laying a...
