Oh my gosh, this is so true! My leghorns(3) would fly the coop daily for their adventure into the neighbors yard. Thank heavens they are nice folks. Then always be home at bed time! They are certainly characters!We have leghorns for the first time. I don't know your coop/run situation but the leghorns love to fly! Our 6 week old immediately flew to the top of the fence of the chicken yard with no effort at all. Mine aren't adults but I've read they also love to roost very high. They are indeed supposed to be fabulous layers but I'm not sure I would have added them to our mix voluntarily. They were part of a chick assortment. You have several on your list who are considered docile. I would say leghorns are definitely not docile, at least ours aren't. First to gobble food and I see them as leader of the flock eventually. Not mean or hostile, just overactive and eager.
We have enclosed runs but our chickens have always had the use of a fenced yard during the day. For the first time we're looking into building a completely enclosed structure. Our neighbors have chickens too and if the leghorns go into the trees I may never get them back home! Always an adventure, right?Oh my gosh, this is so true!
