breeds photos: The Leghorn
The Leghorn is the 'common fowl of Italy' and was exported to
many countries of the world from the port of Leghorn. The Leghorn
was, and still is, a prolific egg layer and the White Leghorn
has figured prominently in the modern-day establishment of high
egg-producing commercial hybrids. There are many colours standardised
in both Large fowl and bantam, though the Whites and Blacks are
the most popular. The Leghorn is an excellent, striking, competitive
breed for anyone, whether your aim is to win 'Best in Show' or
to keep the household well supplied with eggs.
