Blue (BBS) Partridge Leghorn Day Old Chicks

Leghorns might be considered a well-traveled chicken breed. They first came to North America in the mid-1830s from Italy, where they originated. Leghorns traveled back across the Atlantic ocean from North America to Britain in the 1870s. It’s possible that the first round of Leghorns that came to North America died out and that the breeds we have here now result from birds that came to North America in the 1850s. We thank whichever group gave us the Leghorn breeds we have come to love today because these birds have fantastic laying ability, hardly ever go broody, and do well in both free-range or confined environments.

These Blue Partridge Leghorn Chickens are active birds that will lay 4-5 white eggs per week. You can expect egg laying to begin at bout 20 weeks of age.

In poultry, the color blue does not breed true. Blue parents will produce offspring that are blue, black or splash. Meyer Hatchery does not separate the blues out and you will receive hatchery choice colors when ordering.
