Leghorns are a very early maturing breed and will start to lay eggs anytime after 16 weeks of age. They are one of the most popular breeds around the world and will lay pearl white medium to large size eggs in great abundance. The leghorn is known by the nickname "The ultimate egg machine". They are not very human friendly and are prone to be nervous and noisy even when roosting. Not a good city chicken if you have sleepy neighbours.

Chickens, whether the chicken is brown, white, blue, red or, or... all start laying eggs when they are mature enough to do so. The average age for chickens to start laying eggs is 5-6 months of age. You will notice the wattle and comb begin to appear more red than pink as they become more developed and distinct. This is an indicator that the young hen is about ready to start laying. And brown chickens don't necessarily lay brown eggs. It's a common misconception. Brown Leghorns, for example, lay white eggs just as their white colored counterparts do. The color of egg the chicken will lay coincides with the color of the earlobe. A white earlobe = white eggs. Colored earlobe = brown or tinted eggs. Hope this helped!
