Pros: friendly, active

Cons: can be very loud if startled, shy

The Leghorn is a good bird to have if you want a lot of eggs but the Leghorn can be easily startled and once they are startled it can be annoying and it is hard to calm them down and the bird is shy but other than that the bird is a good Bird to keep

I have 10 leghorns and they are very shy, and very fast runners too. If I walk slowly and quietly then I can get about 5 feet from them but otherwise, they run away. I took an egg from one of them the other day and she cackled and squawked for 5 minutes, you'd have thought I tried to kill her

I have 9 leghorns and they were like that too but i kept trying to pick them up many time and that tamed them down. Now they follow me around but some are still shy, one time i had a leghorn fly on my shoulder.
