leghorn

Got him from a family member who could no longer care for her chickens. He had no idea about the breed. He is 3, a phenomenal protector of the flock and very chivalrous. He is not aggressive towards me, but has chased my 4 year old away before lol 😂. Some say he is a light Brahma mix, light...

My relatives have a flock of mixes. Just your basic laying hen with a single comb. Problem is that they're getting quite old and don't go broody anymore. Because of that, they're not getting any new young pullets. And with the local fox visiting and taking a hen every week or so, the flock is...

Hi all, got given this little hen, Sally, after she was the lone survivor of a fox attack that took out her whole flock. Would love to know what she might be, mostly just put of curiosity as her previous owner had no idea! I had thought maybe a leghorn but she lays beautiful chocolate speckled...

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...

Since I have plenty more room for at least 3-4 more chooks, I'm on the hunt for a few new girls to expand my little feather family. I'm in the Florence-Richland area of Mississippi. I also plan to sell some eggs and help my community out because egg prices are going up. Looking for the...

The name's Mason! I'm a 23 year old chicken keeper and artist from the south who has a little Leghorn league that loves to cause trouble any chance My girls respectively are named Bitey, Tracey, Stacey, Bettsy, Dolly, and Shark My sweet featherbabies<3

Hello my old hen sat on some eggs and they hatched out at the end of february. Im horrible at sexing leghorns, i was sure this was a roo but i don’t see any saddle feathers but hackle feathers show otherwise, and today they started crowing? Pretty sure its a cockerel, can anyone confirm if i was...

Hi guys! Several months ago one of my white leghorn chicks got paralyzed and I'd like to tell her story. Maybe it will inspire somebody not to lose hope :) *** Sorry for my English, I'm not a native speaker. I have a country house where we keep chicken. We don't live there, and it's 10min on...

Hey all! So we transported our chicks to our coop a week ago and they are loving their new home and their new run. We have an open run that is heavily shaded and we let them out almost the whole day for the first time yesterday. I am a stay at home mom and am here most of the time and check on...

I got her from meyers. She is about 3.5 months and she was a in one of the mixed hen categories ( I can't remember the actual name for it) but I have never figured out her breed for certain. I'm thinking she's an exchequer leghorn. p.s. I just really love the second picture lol. Also, if she is...

Thoughts on gender for this white leghorn? I’m beginning to think rooster. They are 3-4 months old.

All taken at 5 weeks. I have a feeling it’s a roo but leghorn females can also have huge combs so I don’t know if I can just go by that trait. Although I’m 90% sure it’s a roo. :(

Hello everyone! My name is Emily, I'm 29 (30 in june!), I'm from Oakland county Michigan, and I'm new to the chicken community. We recently bought our first house and are expecting our third child at the end of March, we have just started looking into chickens and quails for our new home. And im...

I need help :( over the last two or so days I’ve noticed my White Leghorns wings have been drooping and she keeps falling asleep in the middle of the day, and just overall doesn’t look great. I’ve been finding one egg nearly everyday that doesn’t have a hard shell… I’d say for probably the last...

Hey all! With the colder weather approaching, a couple of my girls are going through some pretty gnarly molting. One of my Easter eggers hasn’t been laying for the last couple weeks(I know this because she is the only one out of 16 chickens who lays very light brown eggs) due to her molt. Two...

My husband purchased birds at tractor supply and he bought leghorns. I think it is just a really healthy leghorn lol My husband thinks she is a meat bird now. What do you think our chicken is?

Hi all! So my ladies all got killed by a fox attack about a month ago. The sole survivor of the attack was my Leghorn Rooster who defended as best he could with the other rooster, our beloved creamy legbar who sadly died also. So Avalanche(our only remaining rooster) was left with bites and a...

I have two white chickens that I was told were erminettes when I got them at 4 weeks old. Clearly they don’t have the erminette markings but I didn’t notice any of the other so called erminettes having the splash colouring either. Wondering if that’s really what they are or if they’re just...
