White Leghorn

Who sells non-hybrid white leghorns? Pretty much everything I see, that give info on them anyway, are hybrids.

If you find out something, please let me know also.
Thanks : )

Who have you checked so far? I've never seen hybrid white Leghorns.

I couldn’t give you a list off the top of my head. I’ve looked at over a dozen. They’re either hy-line strains, proprietary strains, or say things like, “This is a production strain, and we do not recommend you breeding them.” AKA this is a hybrid and won’t breed true. Or, they flat out say hybrid on the description.

I just placed an order for heritage single comb brown leghorns at Murray McMurray. They're supposed to be shipped the middle of April.

Unfortunately the hatchery where I ordered mine said the brown leghorn doesn't go broody either.

You might be able to order white leghorn hatching eggs if you can't find baby chicks.
I didn't place order an order for chicks from Myers because they didn't have all the breeds I wanted. https://meyerhatchery.com/products/White-Leghorn-Hatching-Eggs-p447294320
