Leghorn chickens Leghorn chickens are well known across the globe thanks to the popular Looney tunes character, Foghorn Leghorn. Just like the macho chicken that is a part of your childhood memory, leghorns have a very aristocratic carriage and a beautiful structure. The white leghorns and the brown leghorns are the most popular among the leghorn breeds. The roosters come in gorgeous colors that makes them perfect for showing.
