Leghorns are great egg laying chickens. They are friendly to other Leghorns and can easily fly. The only problems is that they are bad in the pecking order and they can make a mess of the yard....

I always do it at night or early morning and most of the time they wake up (come off their roost) and do a little pecking on eachother then its somewhat fine. You will always get them picking on eachother no matter how you do it to establish the pecking order. Good luck!
