Leghorns?

[ChrisB1997]

Hello, I was looking into buying hatching eggs online and saw this breed which were listed as “Italians”. Are they Leghorns? If so, do you reckon they would lay as much as the commercial white leghorns do?

Thanks

Beautiful birds and they do appear to be leghorns of some variety. It is very doubtful that they would lay on a yearly basis like commercial birds, but might have a longer productive lifetime.

In Europe, Leghorns are commonly called 'Italians'. In the USA, not often.

Leghorns were standardized and improved from the common fowl of Italy. These, to me, seem too uniform to be anything other than Leghorns, even though their coloring is not common, at least in the USA.

They are very pretty!
