Crossing a white leghorn (hen) with a brown leghorn (rooster)
2016年8月6日 · Brown leghorn rooster over a white leghorn hen - is there a way to determine the sex of the chick by their coloring? I started to automatically say no but I thought of specific cases where it might be possible. Highly unlikely but possible. White is a pain to work with. Do you have photos of the chicks?
White Leghorn Roosters...what to cross them with?
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.

Breeding Results, Lavender Orpington over White Leghorn
2024年2月7日 · Here's the answer to breeding a White Leghorn hen to a Lavender Orpington rooster. The result is some darling chicks! They are very light in color, almost pure white and have black spots on their heads and bodies. I'm strongly tempted to call them domino chicks.

Does anyone have experience with a W.Leghorn/B.Orpington cross?
2021年2月19日 · 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 the Orpington hens.
