Aussie Whip 3,822 Posted May 30, 2022 Report Share Posted May 30, 2022 Has anyone put a bantam leghorn rooster over standard leghorn hens. Wondering if they can do the job as I'm trying to get smaller leghorns to free range and better food to egg ratio. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah that would be another good cross, do you think that cross would badly affect egg numbers? I was also thinking a Jungle Fowl rooster. I want them to free range through bushland. Sorry tank to hijack your thread but just saw Leghorns so thought I'd jump in, hope you find your rooster. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I reckon if that’s your plan then that or gamefowl might help breed some survival instinct into them but probably reduce egg numbers but I shouldn’t thought it will be that bad? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
