what does a leghorn chick look like

[littlegreywolf]

It's definitely a Golden/Red Sex Link pullet. They lay various shades of brown eggs - from light tan to dark brown.

Leghorns always lay white eggs regardless of variety.
What a chick looks like depends on the variety.
I believe leghorns come in 9 varieties.
The following link will have pictures of chicks in most varieties toward the bottom of the page.

ya but how are they a rare breed

Meaning not many people raise them anymore. Most people raise Barred Plymouth Rocks, which are identical to Dominikers except they have single combs instead of rose combs.

Are they a real rare breed

All the major hatcheries have Dominiques, so hatchery quality ones are common. Breeder quality ones are harder to find.
