I've raised plenty of chickens and the Leghorn has always proven to be the most intelligent. Also when preditors strike they are quick to fly high into the branches of the nearest tree and freeze until the threat is gone.
Are they friendly?
I mean easily trust human?
Great to know!! That is a useful trait indeed. I like these chickens, intelligence is rare in a chicken!
fyi - PREDATORS, not PREDITORS. AUDITOR but not PREDITOR. 😂
We have one that is 9 years old. She was raised in a flock of 10. Perhaps she got mixed up as a chick because the other 9 were all ISA brown chickens. We had another flock after this, but our Leghorn has managed to outlive them all. The last of the ISA brown chickens from the 2nd flock passed away about a week ago and now our Leghorn is all alone and from what I can understand, quite sad as she's not eating as much and is pecking at our glass door. The other day, we spotted her looking under the chicken coop, which is where our brown chicken spent her last days. Chickens have great memories but they also form strong bonds, with our remaining two hens being inseparable, often spotted having afternoon snoozes together. I can try giving her away to a loving home that keeps chickens beyond their egg laying years but a new environment and new flock will likely be too stressful for her. I'll most likely opt to get her a friend and hope they eventually get along.
I plan on getting a few of these one day. We had a rooster of this breed and he sadly passed away after a couple of years. We took his tail feathers when he passed and I used them on hats.
Never heard of using the feathers like that before!
@@AgricultureAcademy feathers have been used in decorating hats as well as ladies' hair for centuries. Ostrich plumes are usually preferred but the use of goose, quail, guinea fowl, turkey, and chicken feathers are great to add small hints of detail without much expense. Sometimes even whole birds would be taxidermied and put on hats. From hummingbirds to full pigeons in flight poses to even sparrows in a nest, feathers are quite a lovely decor.
The information was nice but you did show a lot of different types of chicken breeds when you were speaking about the white leghorns which could be confusing to beginners
Thanks for the feedback 🐣
Thanks for a brief to the point video. So many other people's videos are way too long for no reason. Again good video
I just bought a white leghorn and this video took up everything I needed to know, thanks.
Great to hear 👏🏻

Good morning Sir,. May I Ask You, if how many times 0r basis does this hens Lay eggs in at One Day or Per Day??? I need an idea, Thank you,
Hi
Thanks for your video
I am from Ecuador how can I order pure Leghorn fertil eggs
Thanks
Can i mix white leghorns with color italianer ?
Leghorn roosters are beautifully mean.
Jabez from Kenya ,where can I get whiteleghon breed?
The white leghorns can be a little flighty . Usually I will have the white leghorns and brown leghorn chicks with a calmer breed chicks like red star sexlinks . Then the leghorns calm down .
In order to get original leghorn chickens for egg laying what breed should be a breed of rooster? The same leghorn rooster or some other? For same high production of eggs in future? Please answer to my question if you know it's important for me to by a rooster breed for my original leghorn hens.
I run a few leg horn and I normally replace my leg horn roosters yearly but I only have about 100 hens that free range in 1 fenced off area, but if I was to say split them into 8 smaller flocks and keep track of their heritage I could get away with only buying 1-2 roosters every 4 years as long as I was rotating the roosters around my flocks and not running son over mother, brother over sister or dad over daughter, yes you can inbred safety for 5 generations but it’s not worth the risk and for my flock it’s about 170-250 grams of feed a day I offer each bird so I’m not shore how much of that they’re actually eating vs how much more they are finding, hopefully this answers your question
Please, how can I contact you because I am a beginner in raising laying hens
I just received them today
Best of luck!
I bought three leghorns when they were chicks now they’re like four months old I was wondering when they lay and also I don’t know if I have a rooster or a cock they call them how can you tell if you have a rooster mine are all white or is there roosters or are they just hens
Can you please show us the food intake from birth to 72 weeks please?
They eat about 120 grams per day after maturity
I don't know this video. I have experienced the opposite. they have a very good appetite mine eat a lot. the start flying at 3 weeks old and they are extremely messy. Maybe its just the ones I have.
Mine does too they love there meal worms an goes crazy for them an always eating lol I have 3 leghorns an there my 3 kids lol
please am a starter in Ghana can feed them with rice or millet and maize
naa bro am in ghana too i do poultry i can help you on some tips

Does white leghorn eggs hatch ?
If so I need these eggs could you please provide me
Yes they will hatch. You just have to sit on them for 9 months.
@@BangBang-hk4rg don't wory i have incubator and I was serious with my question as I was planning white legron production
And i am surprised with your experience oh my god how many eggs did you hach .....
And how did you pass your 9 months time sitting on them...
Yellow skin doesn’t mean they are not good eating, this is a stupid thing to say.
Also, you keep showing other breeds, Cornish, Brahma, and rocks, why?
Think it’s more about their size.
The comment about the yellow skin may just be an indication that when they are plucked, they will look like the chickens you buy in the store which might be more palatable to some.
Very good layers. Very smart but not cuddly. Almost heritage so they are healthier than production breeds. They are not mean just kinda flighty.
Your pictures do not show leghorns many times! They have white earlobes.
Brother How can we check their Gender.?????
you did not say how much tasty their eggs are
Ye murghi sabhi murghiyo me subse jyada atde deti hai
Regards to all . I am a big fan of chickens, and one day I want to have over 20 types of chickens. Currently, I breed 3 types: Australorp, Amrock, Leghorn. Look at my channel, I think I live in a healthy environment where effort will come to fruition! Thank you
Does leghorn rooster lay eggs??
Roosters don’t lay eggs. Roosters are male
@@user-hl6ls8sv4t 😄😄😄😄
These not pure leghorns
How do we know it is pure and where to get it
@@arkmanbro3928 you get hybrid and pure leghorn
@@edwardthomas9671 Where can fertilized eggs of this strain be obtained from please?
These lost their motherly instinct, which is natural and a God-given thing in nature. All that breeding till they lost it and they lay a lot more eggs than other breeds. It's sad. Heritage chickens, the old variety, have their motherly instinct.
13:43 I love that. Do you love me? 😍💋 💝💖❤️
I want to order rooster white leghorn
Leghorn is not a TRANSLATION of the Italian port of Livorno, but an Anglicized version of the name. In other words, the meaning of Livorno in English is not LEG HORN. Legs don't have horns and horns don't have legs. The fact is, the British with their stuck up way of talking, corrupted the original name to LEGHORN, because it was too hard for their limited British vocal range to say LIVORNO. Quite typical of the British to do that with words they absorb from other languages such as Mulligatawny soup from the Tamilian (Indian state of Tamil Nadu) word Mulligatanni or Pepper Water. Europeans refer to this breed of chickens as ITALIAN. But the Brits have to be different, of course. How hard is it to say LIVORNO? I think we need to rename this breed as Livornos - a huge cultural appropriation from, and disrespect to the Italians. Their contribution to this breed has been snuffed out by the British.
1:08 - What rooster is this? Looks like a Leghorn due to the white spot near ear, but certainly not a WHITE Leghorn as the caption says. Who does this sloppy editing at your studios?
1:10 - This rooster is NOT a Leghorn. Notice the absence of a white patch near ear? This is a Copper Marans Rooster.
1:41 - Rooster is NOT a Leghorn. This is a Brahma.
Good information on the whole, but this is video, not radio. Hence, visuals are important. You did not show any good visuals of Leghorn chickens which is a shame. I can read information faster than watching a video and the only point of a video is to SEE the chickens in action. How do they behave, move, interact with others, fly up trees, forage? Nothing shown. A very sloppy production. You can do so much more. Put some effort into it. Make a substantial video.
The background music is wholly unnecessary in a documentary video and is a source of immense irritation to the ears. You have the continuous voice and if you add the continuous background drone of 'music' it is too much overall sound for the ears and not soothing, very stressful. PLEASE. DO. NOT. ADD. MUSIC.
