White Leghorn Hens Saved From Being Dinner
The other day I was blessed to be able to rescue these beautiful white leghorn hens from a dinner plate at another farm. Their prior owners the ones who raise them, we're going to dress them out but they hadn't had enough time to do so. Because of that they gave me the opportunity to come take some home.
They are adjusting well to their new environment, they had never seen a rooster before but they are quite happy with their new Cochin roo.
White Leghorn
White leghorns are one of the more popular chicken breeds in which exist. They're used a lot in factory production for eggs. (The white eggs that you find in stores).
Leghorns are known for laying very large white eggs. They lay about 280 to 300 eggs per year, with a life expectancy of about 5 years, thus, you can expect to receive a lot of eggs from young ladies of this breed. Leghorns come from Italy, in about 1828 they were imported to North America. Besides their outstanding egg laying abilities, they are also great for table purposes. They mature fast and have a decent amount of meat on them (Note it's not exceptional but it's doable). The American poultry association recognizes 10 colors of leghorns. There's also several comb types that they can also have that are recognized. Temperament-wise, these birds are very skittish and flighty. They don't make very good cuddle pets, they prefer to do their own thing and not be handled. If you are looking for a great hands-off egg layer to add to your backyard flock, a couple of these ladies would do you well.
