Show quality or hatchery? White leghorn.

Don’t mind that she is a little dirty. It’s been raining for the last few days.

Where did you get her? Pictures of her standing side profile would help.

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.

Sorry for the OT but I just wanted to chime in that it looks like she's having some trouble with her crop. It was very full at the time of the picture but it's also sitting a bit low. You might want to check her crop some mornings by feeling to see if it's emptied overnight. And make sure they have grit available

Oh thank you! She does have grit available. (before I took this, she just got a bunch of leftovers. But I will check it!)

Her crop is empty now. It was probably due to us cleaning out the fridge. But you are right, it is low. But it’s emptying and it does not seem to bother her.

She is very shy once it comes to pictures. Here is the best I could do without her running off, or another hen wanting the spotlight.

The others love pictures. (More Like attention)

She’s a pretty typical hatchery quality leghorn

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