    Leghorn chicken laying at 3 months!!

    Here is my leghorn chicken, Peep! We got her along with 5 other chicks back in late August. We also have 5 other hens who have been laying for 2 1/2 months. Peep has been squatting and sitting in the nesting boxes for a week or so and I have assumed it’s because she wants to be like her older...

    Rescued Chickens to a Good Home

    We are a popular destination for families who can no longer care for their hens. All our chickens are well cared for, free ranging our property during the day and locked up securely at night to ensure their safety from nocturnal predators. We just took in a flock of 25 Leghorns from the city...

    Clucking Around with the Chickens

    Just so I can keep up with my antics with my chickens, I'm going to document all of the fun, crazy, frantic, tear jerking and sometimes embarrassing things (other than trying to spell embarrassing correctly) that happen as I am trying to establish a flock of laying hens, grow some "chicken soup"...

    Chicken Run!

    Being a novice at raising chickens, I purchased two mislabeled chickens not knowing any better. I named them Foghorn (Rood) and Leghorn (Pullet). Loved them to death, only having to butcher them because they were Cornish Cross instead of Wyandotte, they were suffering in the heat. Here's to...

    Age of sexual maturity of roosters

    I have a batch of leghorns that I hatched this spring. I ended up selling my hens to locals and got rid of most of my rooster chicks. I kept two to replace the older roosters in my flock. They are 14 weeks now. I put them together with my flock about a week ago. From what I noticed one of the...

    Learned my first chicken LESSON within four hours !!?

    Ok, 4 hours in and I had my first chicken causality. I went into the coop to hang a toy and the door behind me opened up and my leg horn got away into the woods. Rule #1: invest in two screw eyes and a bungee cord so when you go into the coop the door closes behind you. Live and Learn ! What...

    Pullets or cockerels?

    Help! I have three (I hope) ladies around 2 months old that I'm questioning. The seller said the white one is a leghorn, but she is enormous and has grown much faster than the other two- her legs are quite large. Super docile and sweet in temperament. She has the reddest and largest waddle/comb...
