I hatched mine from Peachick's eggs. I think now I may have one of each based on the position of their tail feathers but who knows.

I used to have three white leghorn hens and two of them were so tame that they would fly up on my shoulder if I went outside eating a sandwich. The third was a little skittish but she was attacked by something when young and was never normal after that. I could still pick her up though.

The pair of Silvers I had. I have since sold them as I needed the room. I still have a dozen or so chicks I hatched out so I am not out of them all the way.

Here's Liberty! I "found" her at the commercial egg farm where I keep my horse. They just got a new flock of pullets in, and this one escaped. I caught her in the dark on July 3, and she is now learning how to befriend other chickens, eat watermelon, and peck around the grass. She's "adopted" my Silkie, Phyllis as her security blanket, and I think she will like it here! It surely isn't the tiny cramped lunchbox she was expecting to live in.....

The chicks aren't pure leghorn because I have these as table eggers only and don't have a leghorn cock, but this one fooled me and for the first time in 7 yrs, I got to witness a leghorn go broody, successfully setting and hatching a clutch of eggs.

Please excuse her back, someone not so nice got her dirty with poo.
 
I need to dig up a picture of my Brown Leghorn roo that I had had Elvis. I would love another like him - he was a show worthy bird - and man I miss him even though he hated me - he was GORGEOUS to look at and a great gentlment to his ladies. *sigh* I need to get me another one - track down a good breeder and get me a few girls and a roo. I'm going to wind up overloaded with chickens again - lol.


beautiful leghorns everyone - i had no idea they came in so many colors!
 
This exechequer leghorn is from our June hatch. Is it normal for the legs to have spots on it? It doesn't look like a disease but the yellow legs now have spots...
