The Leghorn hen will probably re-
spond more readily TO highly concen-
trated feeding methods than any
other variety. They are veritable egg
machines. Hens laying over 200 eggs
in a year are not uncommon in this
variety Some individuals hold rec
ords of laying over 800 eggs.
Leghorn eggs are usually very fer
tile, and the chicks develop and grow
rapidly. Pullets often commence lay
ing at four months old. The young
cockerels make splendid squad broil-
ers, for which there is a steady de-
mand. The average Leghorn male
weighs from four TO five and a half
pounds, and the females about three
to four pounds.
They have long heads, bright promi-
nent eyes and brilliant red comb and
wattles, which make a striking con-
trast to their snowy-white plumage.

SINGLE-COMB WHITE LEGHORNS
Copy right 1870

Our earliest records show that Leg
horns were first introduced into the
United States about 1895. Little atten-
tion was paid to them at the time. but
in 1853 Mr.. Simpson, of New York.
purchased some of the fowls from a
ship owner, and later imported some
White Leghorns direct. These came
from the port of Leghorn, in Italy,
and from that fact the breed derives
it's name.
