Murray MCMurray has a nice white leghorn that isn't scatter brained and flighty as most leghorns can be. With handling while growing up, they turn out pretty tame and calm. Their white rocks are nice too. I've had both breeds from other hatcheries and prefer the bloodline that MM has for both. Leghorns do not grow broody, white rocks will go broody and hatch chicks.

Thank you! I am still looking at the types of chickens I would like. My neighbors started out with white chickens but I have no idea what they are. They acquired some red and brown hens when the roosters started crowing. I am anxious to see how they weather out northern temps this winter. The neighbor's hubby built a splendid coop and my darling promises a coop is on his list for spring.
I was talking chickens before they had any. Hubby thinks he is doomed. LOL!
