I have 7 leghorns that I am really unimpressed with. I am getting 1 to 2 eggs from them a day. You hear all the hype about how great and efficient they are at laying yet to me they are underwhelming. Anyone else have lazy leghorns?
They are just over a year old and should be in prime laying age. They get layer pellets just my rhode island reds are laying like champs the leghorns are a waste of feed if you ask me.How old are they, and what are you feeding them. Mine have generally averaged 5 or 6 eggs per week through their second year.
1 to 2 eggs from 7 chickens is decent? That's 14-28% productivity...from supposedly the best layers out there with the best egg to feed ratio that's terrible for hens in their laying prime.sounds pretty decent to me.
Yes I am sure they are leghorns. I am not new to chickens.Are you sure their even leghorns?
There are other white chicken breeds who look VERY similar.....
