Wait. But Leghorns don't have long tails. Explain.

wow, there are a TON of research pages here on different feed additives. I don't have time to read them all now, but that is some interesting stuff. also there are pages on incubation temperatures affecting growth. I didn't thing that would affect them long term...

(I'm getting off topic digging deeper there for now but very interesting stuff,)
