“We have one Exchequer Leghorn named Queen, and she IS the queen of the yard. From the very first, she has been a bold, curious, and friendly little girl. She's got a boxy shape and beautiful coloring. She would definitely like to live in the house if she could and is the first to run over and see what you're doing. She's even jumped up on outside windowsills to see what we're doing in the house. Can't say how her laying is because we have ten hens and I can't tell their eggs apart, but if you're keeping chickens for pets as well as for the eggs, I think this breed is a lot of fun!”
“My Exchequer Leghorn is an absolutley beautiful bird. I wish I could add a picture! I am also thrilled with her personality. She is friendly and docile compared to my other leghorns, and will let people pick her up. She lays medium sized white eggs.”
“I purchased the exchequer leghorn for the egg color, unique plumage, and ‚Äúflighty‚Äù personality. I have had hawk problems in the past, and I figured the feather pattern be preferable to the traditional white.
Checkers was a bully!
She and her 6 siblings of varying breeds were introduced to my established mixed flock when they were about 3 months old, (if I‚Äôm remembering correctly) and she was instantly picking on some of my adult hens! She did start laying cute little white eggs within 5-6months in the middle of winter, and she gave me at least 6 eggs/week. I just did not really care for her personality.”
“Mary-Lou is a beauty with a skittish but amusing personality. She occasionally produced an extremely tiny white egg, but has stopped laying completely now that it's winter. (The rest of my hens are still laying). So not a good layer for me, but I enjoy having her in my flock.”
“My Leghorns are adorable 1 was very stunted in growth and is finally playing catch up. Her sister is laying well everyday! But the stunted one hasn‚Äôt. But I‚Äôm not giving up on her yet! She‚Äôs very active like the rest of the girls and loves exploring in the woods foraging for insects and whatever runs by like lizards! Lol
they are a little flighty but I never have to chase them as they go into the coop every night before sundown. I‚Äôm very happy with all my girls and will be purchasing again from MPC!”
“She‚Äôs really a beautiful, smallish bird, definitely on the flighty side. Lays a small/medium cream colored pointy egg. I guess I‚Äôm a little disappointed with the egg color (I was expecting white) & shape but she‚Äôs such a nice bird to look at.”
“My little Exchequer leghorn, Cher is just a doll. She has been full of personality since day one and was the first of my pullets to have no problem jumping up on my lap and staring at me with her silly sideways little lie. She still one of the smallest chickens we have that has the biggest personality of them all. She‚Äôs got striking black and white feathers and bright yellow legs which makes her stand out from the rest of our birds. Her eggs are a bit disappointing as they are skinny and pointy. Hoping at some point they might get slightly bigger than this but if not that‚Äôs OK her personality makes up for it. Not sure why my pet chicken only has pictures of chicks and doesn‚Äôt show the beauty of the hens and Roos.”
