Show quality or hatchery? White leghorn.

Looks like typical White Leghorn crop fill as well.
They can look like they swallowed a cantaloupe when they go to roost.

Why is it so hard to find information on white leghorns? I never knew that. Or perhaps I am not using the right key words. Anyways, thank you.

I don't know, maybe not many people keep them.

I would still monitor the crop - it's good practice to take note of all your birds - how their crops feel and look so you can catch anything early.

While yes, she's looks like a typical hatchery White Leghorn, she's also special to you, so quite so typical, is she?
I think you will enjoy watching her, they seem to have a personality of their own.
What's her name?

My leghorn fill up (not quite so much) but they don't sit that low. It's something to keep an eye on, anyway

She was TSC chick. I know its rare to get anything but hatchery quality chicks. But I can’t find any info about the leghorn breed standard. And I will try to get some more photos tomorrow.

The Leghorn breed standard is in the American Poultry Association (APA) breed book. Everything you need to know. Check out their site, they sell the book of standards there.
