White Leghorn
The White Leghorn is one of the most productive and efficient egg-laying breeds in the world. Famous for their exceptional output of large white eggs, White Leghorns are the top choice for anyone wanting maximum egg production with minimal feed consumption. Their sleek, bright white feathers and active personalities make them a lively and classic addition to any flock.
