White Leghorns are ideal for the production of large, high- quality, white eggs. These pullets are early maturing and are noted for their lack of broodiness. They are also bred for their disease resistance, excellent feed conversion, and are noted for their adaptability to most conditions. We highly recommend our White Leghorns for any size of flock.

The Golden Laced Cochin was originally known as “Pekin” bantams these delightful birds arrived from China with returning soldiers around 1860. Cochins are heavily feathered down the shanks and toes and appear to be much larger than they actually are. They are very gentle, excellent setters, require little space and are absolutely beautiful to look at. Each feather is rich, golden ­bay laced with lustrous greenish ­black creating a broad oval with a golden bay center.
