For years, we’ve tried out various chicken breeds, often favoring brown egg layers.
But the best-laying bird on the least feed that we ever raised was a white egg layer.
It was the best forager as well.
Yep. The White Leghorn.
They out-lay every other bird and they do great on less feed than other birds. They also have entertaining personalities.
This year I plan on getting at least twenty of them, and making them our mainstay coop bird.
I don’t need big, chunky birds that have a lot of meat on them. We can raise Cornish Cross for meat.
We really just need more eggs – and it’s hard to beat Leghorns.
