Brown Leghorn Chickens for High Egg Production

The Brown Leghorn is an excellent layer, producing up to 300 large to extra-large white eggs annually. While Brown Leghorns are hardy birds, their large combs may need attention in colder climates to avoid frostbite.

They are more flighty, nervous, and non-broody than other breeds, but they produce eggs at such a high rate that they are still very valuable additions to any poultry setup.

Beautiful and Active Chicken Breed

Brown Leghorns are not just good layers. They are single-comb, clean-legged varieties that add beauty to your coop. The males have red-orange hackle feathers and black-green underbodies and tails. The females are still the epitomes of perfection despite not being as distinguished.

They also have an active and skittish nature, which allows them to thrive in free-range environments and avoid predators better than slower breeds. Introduce athletic Brown Leghorns and see the vigor they add to your flock, even as chicks.
