no one else? I need some info on Brown Leghorns, also.

leghorns lay lots of eggs(one a day/each usually), hardly ever go broody(except in my case

, must be something in the water), and have laid for me through the winter, so 7-8 hens would be great! Brown leghorns the same as whites except maybe just a bit less eggs. You can probably get lots more info on them at feathersite dot com . There are many many links there.

I would love to see your brown leghorns please? I bought a shipment from Ideal called special surprise pullet and I am wondering if the brown ones they sent are leghorns? Thanks in advance for the pics!

The babies look like chipmunks and are very lively.

I think I have a roo. Does anyone have a photo of a 3-4 wk old brown leg they can post?

What else, exactly, do you want to know about brown leghrons? Different strains can vary somewhat. By & large they're good layers of largish white eggs, probably not as productive as the whites as they were used commercially. Leghorns tend to be intelligent, flighty, vigorous, busy free rangers, non broody.....​
