Boy. Leghorns do have large combs, but not that large that young.

Another question....are leghorn Roos nice or yeah you know where I’m going with this....

From what I've heard from the Leghorn King himself (@The Moonshiner), Leghorn roosters are quite easy to get along with.

I have a leghorn roo and I love the little guy. I've never had an issue with him. He is good with his hens, protects his flock and puts his young cockerel son in place when he acts like an ass. His name is white boi, he's very docile and timid. Follows us around like a pup.

I hope this one will be, I “had” a Lavender Orpington Roo that turned on me, don’t want this guy to do that

I really think you'll enjoy his company. My leghorn is one of the best roos I have. Now my Easter egger boys/bantam mix boys, they're a whole different story! One of them bit me in my nose last yr and I'm still pissed about it.

I believe most rooster issues are from how they're raised more so then their breed.
I have a few LH roosters and haven't had an issues with any of them.

Thank you! I treat mine very well, a lot of mine want held a lot, they get treats, scraps, free range (sometimes, due to hawks) I spoil them

Imo thats exactly how not to raise them.
