No that is not a leghorn, could be an anacona, or anacona cross, definately a mediterranean breed as has white lobes :)

Cant wait for the eggs shes around 4mths old Stewarty thinks, he was given the bird to help out a friend as they didnt have a cockerel for her.  The Brahmas i have are like joint at the hip they just walk around together its very cute!!!
Getting my son involved in digging for worms for the girls its great fun!! lol :D
