Joseph, I love to look at your flocks. I would bet I could give you a sorry excuse for a breed trio, and you would have them looking like clones in a couple years.
I believe I saw a post of yours showing the ancona carcass, and it looked pretty uniform. In your opinion, would a light brown leghorn compare? Or is there less relation between the breeds than one reads?
Their standard potential is extremely similar. They have identical weights and almost identical type. However, although there are typical traits that ideally lead to utility, the actualization of utility depends on the individual breeder. Think of it like "breed is an idea; strain is a reality." There are some excellent strains of Light Brown Leghorns available--some of the best large fowl in America today. They would make a very worthy breed choice.
