I have two 23 month old Austra Whites from Meyer. Black Australorp crossed with a White Leghorn. Much more Leghorn shaped/sized than BA.do you think crossing a steady, bigger breed with leghorns would help the egg production? Or not worth it?
Eh.... my first set I had 10 males, 5 were horrid, but of the ten one was fine.the roos tend to be extremely aggressive.
I disagree. I find the Leghorns more likely to lay all winter.more likely to lay in winter,
They don't start to look truly miserable until -20F. Yes, even the skinny girls can fluff out like crazy.winter hardy
