Dark Brown Leghorns? Light Brown Leghorns?

[GracefulBantams]

What is the difference in Dark Brown Leghorns and Light Brown Leghorns? Pictures may be the most helpful

Thanks

The dark brown leghorns are much darker than the light. The light brown leghorn female has a salmon breast. There are probably photos on Feathersite.

I now know that I have Light Brown Leghorn hens, I just have to find out if that is what the Rooster is I am looking at buying

A couple of months ago I got some Brown Leghorn chicks. I didn't know if they were light or dark brown leghorns. I did some research and believe they are Dark Brown Leghorns. Here is one of the young pullets. I put her in a cage because she didn't want to cooperate.
