Don’t get me wrong. I do like my leghorns, but I just wish they weren’t so “bossy” with the others. One of them will peck at any of the others if they get in the way of her, even the “top dog”. But she is sweet to me and is a great egg layer.There are few of us leghorn lovers around here. I’m one of them. I don’t need a chicken to cuddle with me under the blanket or be my friend. I need a tough chicken that can survive and lays a lot of eggs. I want to take every endangered breed and breed it with a leghorn. Meat production has already been mastered by the pros. People don’t like killing their own chickens anymore. The extra bulk is just extra feed cost. If you take the meat factor out of the equation then a leghorn is everything a chicken should be. They are the super chicken of the 21st century.
