Title: White leghorns or similar wanted
Post by: Rosemary on July 15, 2011, 07:50:48 pm
We had a White Leghorn called Snowie. She had a few adventures when we first moved up here and became John and Linda's favourites. Unfortunately, she died a few weeks ago. Dan and I would like to get a couple of White Leghorn pullets for John and Linda. Anyone locally (Angus) got any?

BH has wanted some exchequers for ages - but it's never been worth spending megabucks on fancy birds in case foxy - or the dratted mink - takes them. 

How much would you want for your crossbreds - and where are you?
