2 White Silkie cocks, and 4 mixed breeds. The cockerels and cocks were processed.

I traded my Exchequer Leghorn hen for 6 cockerels and cocks. She now lives on a 100+ acre farm. She was a sweet bird, the only thing I was unhappy with was: late to lay, low egg production, small eggs, and she would sing the egg song 3 times before actually laying.

@The Moonshiner how did those Exchequer Leghorns turn out?

How are the Exchequer Leghorns maturing Moonshiner?

You have got to be kidding me! They are using pictures of Leghorns to show case a “breed” that isn’t even part Leghorn!

I love your setup! So single combed parents threw a rose combed offspring? That doesn’t seem possible. Maybe the hen was mated prior to being sold.:confused:

But the rose comb gene is dominant to the single comb gene and in a heterozygous state the rose comb is expressed physically. So this is very odd.

Both parents had single combs and you hatched a chick with a rose comb?

My dad says we need to keep her around because of her antics.

No kitchen scale. I was seriously thinking of culling her if she didn’t get her act together.

Guess which egg is from my Exchequer Leghorn. The 2 on the sides are from my bantam hens.

When my Exchequer Leghorn pullet first feathered in her tail feathers were mostly white, but now they are mostly black.

My Exchequer Leghorn pullet dropped this feather today.

I ate my White Leghorn cockerel. He was big enough to make a nice meal for 2 people and came out delicious.

I hope the Exchequer Leghorn cockerels look more like Leghorns than the pullets. Birds that become white over the years still breed like their original coloring. I can post the pages from F.B. Hutt if anyone wants.

Yes her comb is not a Leghorn comb. I’ll get a decent picture of her today.

I hope the ones you end up with are better than the one I got from them. Took my pullet 6 months to lay and her eggs are smaller than my Gamefowl hen’s eggs. At least her coloring and personality are nice.

Could someone please explain to me how 55 Flowery Leghorns are autosexing? Is the barring in the male covered by dominant white? *Picture is from google*

For the most part they do. They will sell hatching eggs, chicks, & adult birds so people can maintain the variety and that makes for better genetic diversity.
