White Leghorn - a breed of chickens, which has become a kind of "ancestor" of the Russian white hens. Currently, this form and its derivatives are used for large-scale preparations of eggs. This is understandable, because the rates of egg production have really high.

To lay eggs the females are already beginning at the twentieth week of life, and the first year the number of eggs laid, usually the most productive. To feed the chickens usually add different kinds of stimulants to improve the rate of egg laying, so after one year they often occur exhaustion. Individuals who can't lay any more on the level that is required of them, fall into the "marriage" (including those who are beginning to hatch Chicks).the Leghorn hens
