WHITE LEGHORN
 
The breed has long been one of the most popular breeds in the world, thanks to the birds' exceptional laying ability, adaptability (they do well whether in confinement or free ranging), and hardiness. White Leghorns are early to mature and lay lots of large white eggs, with about the best feed-to-egg conversion ratio of any pure breed. Hens rarely go broody.
