Post Pics of your Leghorns

[LiAuEv]

I just inherited a beautiful buff Leghorn that was being given away due to diminished egg laying ability. She is 2 years old, how many eggs can I expect her to lay? I know someone that took in 6 hens for the same reason and they have ended up averaging 5 eggs a day from them! So I' m hoping I get that lucky with her as I am still seeking a white egg layer. Also anyone out there with Leghorn hatching eggs I am interested, especially in color varieties other than white!

You're welcome. I would also caution you about showing that white also. At large show it may not do to well, since it is a commercial type Leghorn. There is nothing there to disqualify it, but exhibition leghorns and commercial Leghorns are very different. Unless you just plan on showing at a small county fair of course, then it may not matter a whole lot, and of course she will be a great egg layer for you.
I don't mean to discourage you from showing!!! I encourage to get to a large show if you can so you can see the difference between show type and commercial white Leghorns.
