I have a friend working on barred leghorns, I dont know if he will have any for sale anytime soon though.
Those arent Leghorns, they are commercial egg layers, but if you are just looking far a barred white egg layer they will fit the bill.
I think that it would be a lot better and a lot easier to take the lavs to whites rather then taking the lavs to the buffs, with the buffs you will have to battle getting all of the red out of the birds and whites tend to have better type then buffs do
They were decent, they werent like production leghorns though. If you want some good egg layers, I would get California Grays, theyre one half of a leghorn hybrid.

They do pretty well in the cold, you might want to get RC Leghorns instead of SC to help against the cold. I live in central IL and it gets pretty cold here and I didnt have much troubles with my leghorns.
