White Leghorn Chicks

Fifty five years later, there are still White Leghorn's in the henhouse, although we'll probably brood a little later this year as we already have a goody supply of eggs. Helen bough her day old chicks for 3¢, the price this year is $1.91 - here's a link to the birds at one of the few remaining interstate hatcheries, McMurray. I'm sure Helen's came from a lot closer than Iowa, but can't pinpoint the exact source.
