Brown Leghorn Rooster

 

Chickens are the rage. I can see why. They are cute, easy to care for, fun to watch, eat leftovers,
produce almost an egg a day, are inexpensive to buy, easy to sell, taste great, hens are quiet,
don't need much space, get you up in the morning and come in all sorts of colors.

                    I have my favorite breeds.

                    Brown leghorns
                    Buff Orpingtons
                    Dominiques
                    Golden Laced Wyandottes
                    Roasters

The Brown Leghorns are the classic white egg layer and have nice feather coloring. These guys know how to care for themselves. Leghorns don't sell well as people think they are the fighting games.

The Buff Orpingtons are also good layers of cream color eggs and the hens set. They are good sellers.
They are a beautiful big golden and full feathered heavy chicken.

The Dominiques are my favorite breed. They are gentle, calm, good layers, hens are setters, they have more sense than most breeds and are just the all around great backyard chicken. The roosters also don't fight like the orpingtons and the leghorns.

The Golden Laced Wyandottes are here for beauty. They are good layers of a jumbo egg, hens are good setters and they also sell good. They must be kept up and cared for.

The roasters are for meat and are around here only for a short time. They're about an 8# roaster in 12 weeks. They are a freak of nature the way they grow and eat and soon they are off to the Amish for butchering and freezing.


I keep a few chickens loose to hang around the yard and goat barn for entertainment and clean up crew.
