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....

Mine really like Hamburger, bread and meal worms. I know they really don't like cabbage, lettuce and for some reason if my scratch has oats in it they leave the oats

I mixed some sunflower seeds (the kind without a shell- just the insides) with my ducks' scratch once and put it out in a bowl for them. When I came back there was just a bowl of sunflower seeds. I don't even know how they did it!

Well I only have chicks that are about 2 weeks old. So or course they LOVE their starter food! But I have witnessed one of the chicks, catching small moth (that landed in the water dish) on two seperate occasions. MAN, it was a frenzy of activity as the other chicks tried to get it from her. So I guess for now, moths are #2 in their book. :)
