Overview
Due to their egg production ability (approximately 300 a year) Leghorn chickens remain perhaps one of the most popular chicken breeds. Originating from Italy, the Leghorn's cross-bred hereditary provides a rarely broody, mobile and efficient scavenging chicken. However, due to their nature, Leghorns do not necessarily make great pets.
