Leghorn
Reviewed by Chicken Goddess

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....

Have you ever wondered how a hen can lay an egg every day?

Free range? Yea or nay?

You can buy 'roosters only' from hatcheries, from Craigs List and from folks here on BYC in the buy-sell-trade section.

Second that! Definitely check out your Craigs List. I started out with 6 sexed pullets from a hatchery. Loved them, name them and bonded with them. Then, about 4-5 months into my chicken project, my 2 SLW "pullets" started crowing like mad during a thunderstorm. Put them on Craigslist the next day and they were gone. I see roosters on Craigslist for sale all the time, and occasionally for free. Search the ads, and even put one out there stating that you are looking for roosters. You'll get replies!

Former California girl... full time working mom with 1 brilliant 8 year old boy, the best hubby a girl could ask for, 2 mini dachshunds, and 5 hens - 1 Speckled Sussex, 3 RIR pullets, 1 RIR cross (hopefully) pullet.
