Welcome to the Website of the UK
Leghorn Club
Italy was the original home of the Leghorn
chicken, first reaching the UK from
America about 1870.
Increases in body weight were gained by crossing the
Minorca and Malay chicken breeds. In commercial circles the white Leghorn has figured
prominently in the establishment of high egg-producing hybrids.
