Book excerpt: Leghorn chickens are well known across the globe thanks to the popular Looney tunes character, Foghorn Leghorn. Just like the macho chicken that is a part of your childhood memory, leghorns have a very aristocratic carriage and a beautiful structure. The white leghorns and the brown leghorns are the most popular among the leghorn breeds. The roosters come in gorgeous colors that makes them perfect for showing. These birds are known for their prolific egg laying abilities. Like all Mediterranean breeds, they are known for their large and white eggs. Leghorn Chickens are able to lay close to 300 eggs per year that is more than most chicken breeds that are popular.
