Hi Bob

And this marks the point at which I am officially giving up any attempt to understand chicken breeds. I thought 'color' was part of how to tell them apart!

Leghorns are white. Ask any Italian from Tuscany. Just because a bunch of Americans decided that they would accept different colours and different shapes doesn't mean shit. I've had a similar discussion regarding Marans. There are no Black Copper Marans in Marans. There are black Marans and that's it. Don't tell anyone though because they get upset.
Yep, it's confusing. I go by the breed originally bred in the country of origin. I don't really care what various bodies who show and judge have to say about it.

Our view from the waterfront. The lads have worn a track through the mangroves.

Immensely. It will be crazy starting Monday!

On your topic of leghorns, I started out with Isabella Leghorns, the lavender ones. Way too much work to maintain the color so I sold my last breeding pair.

It seems they are in America.
It's a bit like Japanese whiskey getting called Scotch.
White fizzy wine getting called Champange.
Turron getting called Nougat.
Pernil getting called ham.
