I finally got some red leghorns! They are 3 months old, I paid for 4 pullets and was lucky enough that she had a cockerel that she threw in with them for free. I just got home with them, the lady had them caged and ready for me so I didn't get to pick them out but in the light from my cell phone, it looks like the cockerel has white earlobes and at least 2 of the pullets, one of the pullets had a nice tail. I will try to get some pics tomorrow.
I figure if all goes as planned and these birds make it to breeding age, I will hatch out tons of chicks from them and only keep the best and work on a show line. I plan to do some outcrossing to good buffs and browns to help improve type/size and all that good stuff

If that's from your leghorn, it will get full size in time.

Is it common for a white leghorns comb to flop over? one of my hens comb flopped over so just want to make sure its normal with their big combs? She is 19 weeks. and has been laying for aout a week now.

It is common for their combs to droop to the side. My hens have been laying for two or three weeks now and a few of their combs are dooping. But only the ones with large combs, the rest have smaller combs that stay straight . But no worries its alright if their combs droop
