2022年8月23日 · I bought these from my local Tractor Supply in April as blue leghorn pullet chicks. As they started growing, I realized pretty quickly they looked different than any pictures I’ve seen of blue leghorns (or any pictures I’ve found since—I’ve never seen any live ones), but I wanted to wait until they were mature before I sought advice.

2010年12月1日 · Quote: This would only be on the small chance of the white leghorn masking Silver Duckwing or Columbian under the white, but most Silver based Extended black or birchen under the dom white which would give mostly white birds with black dots like draye said and they would develope red leakage as adults like you would get from crossing a black bird with a red …

2012年2月3日 · Light Brown Leghorns of course are an overall lighter shade of brown. The females are what the SOP describes as a "dark brown stippled with light brown, the lighter shade predominating."(SOP) therefor giving them a light brown apperance. the light brown male's color is an overall shade "orange red" on the hackle and saddle, with a black stripe in the hackle …

2014年8月18日 · I've had some Buff Orpington rooster X White Leghorn chicks. The offspring were primarily white and they were in between both parent breeds in both temperament and laying ability; pretty calm and docile birds, probably closer to the Orpingtons than to the more high strung Leghorns; and excellent layers, not quite as good as the Leghorn hens, but better than …

2013年3月10日 · White Leghorn is the best breed for eggs. If you cross your roosters with any of the types you named, you will get chickens that are bigger than a Leghorn. As mentioned, the pullet gets its laying ability from the father. So your pullets should lay well. Based on the choices you named, I think a White Leghorn and Rhode Island Red should be ...

2011年6月17日 · I hope you get to read this. I just hatched my eggs from my rhode Island red hens with my white leghorn rooster. I hatched 10 whites some with black splash and some with none. I also hatched out 8 black chicks that look just like the black sex links. 1 has the white spot on the head and the other 7 all black.

2019年3月28日 · With only 5 hens, 6 including the Leghorn, I'd get down to 1 rooster. 6 hens and 2 or 3 roosters could be brutal on the hens. The Leghorn can bear the Brahma, but it will be harder on her. However, she is also flightier of foot and likely not as easily caught for amorous duties. Only keep a rooster that is a gentleman to his hens.

2011年7月12日 · Im hatching out this cross at the moment. The chicks are yellow/white with a few black flecks. They are big and active (bigger than hatchery pure white leghorn pullets which I bought as replacements for the original breeding stock) They are friendlier than the Leghorns of about the same age and seem to be feathering slighly slower than the Leghorn pullets.

2015年4月19日 · Hi Amylia. I have been waiting & waiting for my hens to lay. Sunday I got my first egg from "Betty" my White leghorn. She is 20-22 weeks. She layed one Sunday and then one again on Monday night but nothing since. I got a brown one today from my BR. She is the same age. Best wishes to you and your hens.
