The White Leghorn Chicken originated in Italy. They have white earlobes, long yellow legs with four toes, and red eyes. The male grows to about 5-6 pounds, and the female grows to about 3-4 pounds. They are good layers of white eggs, and lay an average of 280 eggs per year, making them the most popular commercial strain. The White Leghorn Chicken mature rapidly, and are a vocal and active bird that can quickly convert their food intake into energy. They tend to avoid human contact, and can be nervous and flighty, but they rarely exhibit broodiness. They are not considered a viable meat source since they are not very meaty.
