Is this a leghorn? I am a newbie and my husband didn’t look at names when he bought them. Thanks.

Looks like a possible Amberlink. Can we see a picture of it in better lighting? Where did it come from? I'm assuming it's not laying yet?
I don’t think it’s laying. My husband surprised me with chicks. I say it’s about 19 ish weeks. And he got it from a ranch store in Ramona California. The pic is about a month old, it’s dark here so I can’t do take one at this moment.

It's with a heavy heart that I've decided to get out of the leghorn business.
It's been an exciting ride to say the least and I want to thank everyone that shared in on the fun.
I made some really cool project colors and there was quite a few I'm disappointed I didn't get finished with or get to but it was gonna be never ending.
The amount of everything is staggering. Just the other day I saw some light bulbs on clearance. I bought like 50. Who does that?
I've still got eggs in the incubator and with over 800 chicks hatched this year I'll probably go ahead and hit 1,000 then pull the plug.
I've got another bunch of birds going to auction this Saturday then I don't know what. Probably just keep a bunch of my favorites as a layer flock and just not hatch.
This seems so unreal to write but it's just turning the page. Starting a new chapter.
I'm not getting out of chickens just going a completely different direction. I have a new idea and a new project already in the making.
You all know I'm kind of a big deal and the new project will be too. I'm gonna blow the poultry world up with this one.
Stay tuned for a later announcement on what's to come.
I'm excited but never let the dream of the best leghorns not exist. They are the best laying breed period and if you can at least keep a small operation of them going keeps that alive. Best laying breed period

His focus is more on colors than a bird that outlays the white leghorns, I believe. Especially those mille fleur

Ahh so you want to get some real chickens huh. 😝

@Rhodebar Lover what do you think? Hatchery mix (possibly Amberlink) or White Rock?
