Hey all,
Just thought I would post some pics of the chicks from our black silkie rooster and black leghorn.
We ended up with 4 boys, and 2 girls (i think). Almost all of them were black, but we did get a few with some white.
Here are two of the females at 4 weeks old
3 of the boys at 4...
Hey all!
I've been noticing that Ginger, my 2-ish wk old White Leghorn chick, seems to have a very full crop -- visible, makes it look like she's sticking her chest out -- more often than she doesn't these past three days. I've attached my week 2 comparison pic of the Nuggets for a visual...
I have searched all over the internet and in stores and can’t seem to find anybody that is selling pure white turkens. (McMurray used to but isn’t selling them this year) So my question is, how do I achieve this myself? I already own red/buff Turken hens and was hoping I could breed them with my...
I recently tried my hand at incubating. I was 50% sucessful but I know what I did wrong so I'll right my wrongs in the next go round. In the meantime, I hatched 3 barred rocks, 1 brown leghorn and what I thought was 4 white leghorns. But...3 of my 4 have these black spots. Are they California...
Hey everyone I just wanted some advice because I have been contemplating getting my hen a new friend. I currently have three hens: one white leghorn and two silkies, they get along well but the silkies are a lot older so they prefer to spend every day in the coop or roosting. Cloud however is...
I went to the Northwoods Poultry Show in WI this last weekend and got some great pictures of the different birds there! It was a nice little show with an exceptional junior class - some really outstanding birds from the youth. Plus, how often do you see a nonbearded silkie on champion row??
8 week old Leghorn — pullet or roo? I’m aware that Leghorns tend to develop larger combs earlier than other breeds, but I’m still unsure about this one. What are your thoughts?
Thanks
Hello breeders, how are you?
I live in Brazil, and here we don't have Buff Leghorns.
We have the Breed Leghorns in different colors, but don't have the buff plummage anywhere. Since it's very difficult to import eggs or birds from another countries, I'm thinking about using another breed that...
Hello everyone. I have four roosters that are 4 months old to rehome. We have no room or capacity for more roosters for our hens.
They are hand raised and very friendly. 3 are leghorns and 1 is a Wyandotte chicken. All in great health. I am in Monrovia, MD location. Let me know if you would be...
I got these two birds from a hobby breeder.
They were sold as “zombies,” but upon purchasing them, I was told that their pale yellow skin would blacken over time and that they were likely pullets. They are now about 12 weeks old, and I found they both had bloody scratched faces. I am now...
My brown leghorn, Sofia, roughly a year and a half seems to be sick. I would like to say her symptoms have been going on for about a month. She is lethargic, comb is completely floppy, and today I notice that her cloaca is covered in white paste. She used to be our matriarch but now the other...
Hello All,
We have acquired three Brahmas & an exchequered leghorn from a dangerous & ill environment. We are complete novices but love them dearly & they have blossomed in their chick brooder. We are creating a safe, secure & warm chicken coop & large run for them in our garden. We think by...
Does anyone know whether this is a mix or a pure breed of legbar/leghorn/cream crested legbar? On the Internet I can't find exactly similar roosters from these breeds, is it a mix?
Hi, first time having a little flock. I have a very broody leghorn. From what I've read they don't go broody and a not good mothers. She has taken over a nest of fertilised eggs and I've left her to do her thing thinking she might give up after a few days. We are now on day 18 out of 21 so very...
Hi All,
My 5yo leghorn, Karen, has always been a happy and healthy bird, but one of our other more elderly chooks passed away after a neighbours dog startled them, and since then Karen has been noticably depressed, stopped eating, and had trouble walking.
The avian vet has done xrays and...
