Crossing a white leghorn (hen) with a brown leghorn (rooster)
Aug 6, 2016 · Brown leghorn rooster over a white leghorn hen - is there a way to determine the sex of the chick by their coloring?

White Leghorn Roosters...what to cross them with?
Mar 10, 2013 · White Leghorn is the best breed for eggs. If you cross your roosters with any of the types you named, you will get chickens that are bigger than a Leghorn.

Breeding Results, Lavender Orpington over White Leghorn
Feb 7, 2024 · Here's the answer to breeding a White Leghorn hen to a Lavender Orpington rooster. The result is some darling chicks! They are very light in color, almost pure white and have black spots on their heads and bodies. I'm strongly tempted to call them domino chicks.
