Leghorn Chicken: All You Need To Know

Do you remember Foghorn Leghorn? He was the cartoon rooster loved by thousands of kids who watched the Looney Tunes on TV. 

He is probably the best-known Leghorn chicken in the world! 

Originally these beautiful birds were called Italians, but it was changed over the years to Leghorns. 

This article will explain Leghorn’s history, temperament, and disposition before discussing its egg-laying capabilities and if it’s a good match for your flock.

I've got two leghorns, one brown and one white. Skittish birds, but I get 5-6 eggs a week from each of them.

    We had a White leghorn rooster when I was a kid. That damn thing would suddenly attack out of the blue. My little sister was terrified of him. I don't know how many times I booted him hard as he attacked me. And I wasn't gentle about it. He'd go tumbling, stand up, shake himself off, and then go back to pecking around the yard like nothing happened.
