Yes please, I will have some coffee T
he Leghorn (US: /ˈlɛɡhɔːrn/, UK: /lɛˈɡɔːrn/; Italian: Livorno or Livornese) is a breed of chicken originating in Tuscany, in central Italy. Birds were first exported to North America in 1828 from the Tuscan port city of Livorno,[6] on the western coast of Italy. They were initially called "Italians", but by 1865 the breed was known as "Leghorn", the traditional anglicisation of "Livorno". The breed was introduced to Britain from the United States in 1870.

I'm thinking of buying some fertile leghorn eggs. Should I?
What is thought of as the best leghorn variety? Or most impressive?

There are several colors / types but they all are Leghorns and as far as I know act the same.

OOoooh!! Exciting! I prefer the single comb ones, but the rose combs are gorgeous as well. Light or dark brown?

I dont know, this was the photo on Murray McMurray

Ah ok. I'll have a little look.
I'm always a bit worried when ordering online but fingers crossed they'll hatch.

You must be thinking of someone else- I don't have any browns, I just did a quick google search for 'light brown leghorn rooster' then 'dark brown leghorn rooster' and picked the one (light brown) that looked to match the pic.

So, here I sit at the computer, when NO JOKE, to the far left (east) from the top of the ridge through the pine trees at a fast pace, gliding like a stealth fighter, angling a slight roll to the right so I could see the whole under belly, he was heading between the trees toward the Plumbing truck........
