Years ago, a small, amazingly productive chicken breed was imported from Italy through the port of Livorno. 'Leghorn' became the Anglicized word for that port and the breed. Supermarket eggs are almost always laid by White Leghorns or hybrids developed by them. Hens lay about 325 eggs every year while eating less feed than most other breeds. They are perfect for a family wanting an abundance of white eggs. Leghorns are nervous nellies that can fly over fences.

Purpose: Egg Layer
Production: 325 Large White Eggs/Year
Temperament: Active, Alert, Athletic, Nervous Mature
Hardiness: Cold and Heat Hardy Broodiness: Rarely
Comb Type: Single Comb
