Thanks. White with a few cuckoo feathers sounds pretty, too.

He shows and judges leghorns, and that's what he told me they are. I'm not interested in showing, just having nice egg layers.

That's the plan, but eventually I will need an outcross. Maybe not soon, but some day.

He told me how many months old they are, I think about 5 months? One is about a month younger than the others, and I think the roo is about 6 or 7 months? Here are a few more pictures of them. Guess I'll have to take some better pictures of them. I'm planning to turn a 10 x 12 building into...

He's beautiful! OK, I'm going from confused to very confused. White hides black? White is or isn't a good color to put with cuckoo leghorns? If you had cuckoo leghorns and wanted to produce more cuckoo colored ones but couldn't get your hands on more cuckoo colored breeding birds, what...

Forgot to mention--the rooster is named Big Ben, because I grew up using those wind-up alarm clocks marked Big Ben. Remember those? Well, he's an alarm clock wanna-be, but the joke's on him. I'm usually awake before he is. The man who sold them to me is really into chicken shows and he...

That's great news! I ordered a book on Leghorns off eBay the other day to try to find this out. Guess asking here would have been quicker and easier.

Sorry. Newbie chicken keeper here. I saw the big comb and thought male. Cool name. Mine are Henrietta, Lacey, and the one who walks up to me on the perch so she's face level with me when I'm cleaning up and quietly tells me puckpuckpuck is Whisper, the whisperer of chicken secrets.

That's a handsome roo, Featherhead. Here are pictures of mine at the show. I'd been active on this board and had everything together for chickens before the show, then went there hoping to find some good egg layers. Saw these four and had to have them.

I already have an incubator and egg turner. I'd like to increase the flock in the spring, but will be needing an outcross after a season, with only three hens and one roo. Will they produce more cuckoo coloring if crossed with white Leghorns?

Do Leghorns ever go broody, or will I need to borrow a hen from another breed to raise some of their chicks next spring? I already have someone wanting fertile hatching eggs from them, and they haven't laid any eggs yet. They should start soon, they're young.

I'm in Arizona, and bought them at a chicken show last month.

Oooohhh! A thread about Leghorns! I want in. I have a small flock (three girls and a rooster) of cuckoo leghorns and they are great. These are my first chickens.
