We have two white leghorns, and of the 7 birds we have, they let us get the closest before walking just out of reach again. When we pick them up, they don't freak out nearly as much as the barred rocks or columbian.
The eggs, though, are on the smaller side.......probably the equivalent of a commercial 'medium'. They are only 8 months old at this point, though, so maybe they'll get larger as time goes on. When they started laying, they were no bigger than a ping pong ball! Very cute.
Maybe I'll try a Leghorn pullet or two, and as many Lakenvelders as I can find! Thank you for your feedback. I do have some bantams that are somewhat flighty, and I don't have a problem with them.
