Leghorns are great egg laying chickens. They are friendly to other Leghorns and can easily fly. The only problems is that they are bad in the pecking order and they can make a mess of the yard....

they look like pullets to me but keep an eye on the white one it could be a roo with those wattles so promanat

good luck with those cuties

Wow! You are the first one to say my white could be a roo. Most people think my blue is a roo and my white and splash are hens. Someone did say my splash looked like a roo though

Thank you so much anyway!

One day short of six weeks (all photos). In the first three photos, the white is the one I'm most wondering about. I don't have enough photos of the buff but you can try.

One is back is the chick above.

They still look like girls to me... Non-bearded girls have wattles too. I used to have some super Black non-bearded from KD Silkies ages ago, but sold them and all the offspring and only do bearded now.

I have two that I need sexes and the little boogers are crazy camera shy. This was the best I could do today, but maybe better tomorrow?
They are 11 1/2 weeks old. I'm pretty sure I know what the one standing is, but the other is less obvious. Caught them taking a dust bath and it was the last to stand up and proceed to freak out. They are from a good breeder, so large crests.
