Polaris Farm has many of these birds in our layer flock. They are the primary producer of white eggs in our egg packs.
Honestly, I passed on this variety for 20+ years because I thought that they were not cold-hardy. But I now own about 100 and they are amazingly healthy and fun to work with.
Leghorns are very productive layers of white eggs. They have compact bodies and are very fast and intelligent.
They love to go up high in your coop or barn to roost. I purposely put up ropes and perches for them. They can be very clever and friendly if you put in the time with them.
White Leghorns have pure white feathers that are beautiful and distinctly shaped.
Always alert, Leghorns are athletic, aware, and a great choice if you live in an area with predators.
Male Leghorns have large combs which are susceptible to frostbite so you will want to provide an environment that protects them during the winter.
