6 white leg horns would give you a nice steady supply of large white eggs. Each would lay as much as 300 a year!
The feed really depends on what age you get them at. If you got them at point of lay they would need to be fed layer feed from your local feed store with oyster shell to make nice strong eggs.
They would need a 24 square foot coop with 2-3 nest boxes and 6 feet of roosting space. The run would need to be at least 60 square feet.
