This is Spunky. I had a feeling he was a little rooster, when I got him at 2 days or so old, at Tractor Supply.
He's about 3.5 months old now.

But then... After seeing a White Leghorn hen, I began to second guess myself! lol
A lot of resemblance.. And, no crowing so far!
But still.. He does look very "rooster" to me. What do you think?

Oh, and his tail..

I noticed one feather starting to curl, and the feathers near the base of the tail look kinda "rooster-ish". lol

And secondly, does he look like a White Leghorn to you?
He was in the assorted bin, and I just bought two.. Him and "Henny"..
No idea what breed she is, white with tan speckles on her wings!

(Oh! And he's a bit dirty, he loves his "Dirt baths" and we just had some rain. *sigh*)

He sure looks a lot like our White Leghorn who is about 13 weeks old. He has been crowing for awhile now. We got him from the local 4H extension office as part of a school project. Here he is:

I have three California White Leghorn hens. They are now 22 weeks and the combs are turning brighter red and they are fighting amonst themselves a bit. My rooster is attempting to keep the peace, but they are showing signs of fighting on the combs. Hopefully they will work it out soon!

jha
This is how they look now at 22 weeks.


This bottom pic is of one at about 18 weeks.
