Minorcas are longer ,â and deeper bodied than Leghorns, " and have not the wild, nervous disposition of fowls of that breed. They are extra good layers of very large eggs, and make poul- try choice for homfe use, but not marketable at best prices. They have their greatest popularity in the vicinity of New York and on the Pacific coast, and in these localities they are bred to equal or exceed Standard weights ; but in many other sections the Minorcas generally are small, and not to be distin- guished from Black Leghorns.
