Description
White Leghorns are small-bodied birds that perform extremely well in cages or on the floor in well-managed housing. They are very efficient and pullets can be raised on 15 lbs. of feed or less up to 20 weeks. On just 3.89 lbs. of feed, hens can produce one dozen eggs (white). White Leghorns are heat tolerant. As babies, they are light yellow and become all white when mature. The typical weight for females is 4 lbs. and for males is 6 lbs.
