Rose Comb Brown Leghorns 



For a handsome bird and for egg producers the Leghorn stands at the 

 head. There is no breed of fowls that lay so many eggs with little feed. 

 Both the Rose and Single Comb Leghorn were originally imported from 

 Leghorn, a seaport in Italy (hence their name.) The Rose and Single Comb 

 varieties are exactly alike in every respect except the comb. The Rose 

 Comb Leghorns are of medium size, have beautiful gay plumage, white 

 ear-lobes and yellow legs, are symmetrical in form and very active and 

 pleasing in appearance, are very hardy and chicks are easily raised on free 

 range; they are good foragers and pullets lay at an early age.
