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....

Maybe I'm just crazy, but I've noticed that the Red SL girls that are mostly red are very aggressive and loud. I used to have one that was mostly red, and I ended up getting rid of her because she never let new members into the flock, and was always chest-bumping everyone. Most of my flock is so docile that they didn't even understand what was going on when she did it. She was just being nasty, not putting down a challenge to her 'authority'.

Good riddance!
