What kind of creature is a White Leghorn?
"Leghorn chicken The Leghorn (, ; or Livornese) is a breed of chicken originating in Tuscany, in central Italy. Birds were first exported to North America in 1828 from the port city of Livorno, on the western coast of Tuscany. They were initially called ""Italians"", but by 1865 the breed was known as ""Leghorn"", the traditional anglicisation of ""Livorno"". The breed was introduced to Britain from the United States in 1870. White Leghorns are commonly used as layer chickens in many countries of the world. Other Leghorn varieties are less common. The origins of the Leghorn are not clear; it"
"that Leghorns are light-weight birds with white earlobes, yellow skin, and which lay white eggs. They are one of the more striking New Heritage breeds, resembling grey junglefowl in carriage and voice with the bearing and production traits of the old heritage breed the Black Java. Iowa Blues have never been recognized officially by the American Poultry Association, American Bantam Association, or any other breed standard. Into the 1960s, several hatcheries around Iowa sold the breed, but after these hatcheries either closed or stopped selling them, the Iowa Blue nearly disappeared. Dedicated breed enthusiasts have preserved the breed into the"
