Leghorns are a classic, hardworking egg-laying breed known for their exceptional productivity and efficiency. These active, alert birds lay a steady supply of large to extra-large white eggs and are one of the most reliable layers available.
Leghorns are lightweight, heat-tolerant, and thrive in free-range or spacious run environments. Their sleek white feathers and bright red combs give them a clean, traditional farm look. While more independent than cuddly, they are low-maintenance, excellent foragers, and well-suited for both homesteads and small farms focused on egg production.
Highlights:
•Excellent layers of large white eggs
•Hardy and heat-tolerant
•Efficient feed-to-egg ratio
•Active foragers, great for free-range setups
•Ideal for egg-focused flocks
