Looks like leghorn to me. Doesn’t look anything like an Orpington. How did he turn out?

Ideally leghorns will have bright yellow legs, but black cockerel breedering pullets will have willow coloured legs with yellow pad on bottom of foot. Leghorns legs also get brighter as they mature.

That's not a Leghorn. That's a White Orpington. Leghorns have bright yellow legs. And it's a cockerel.

This is certainly not an Orpington ckl neither is it a purebred leghorn could be white hybrid utility breed. Orpington ckls at this age have short tail with a curl in it.

I know I'm zombieing this, but it is an Orp. Pink legs, bulky body...tail shape certainly doesn't determine breed.

The skin color and body shape means it can't be a Leghorn.

Pullets don't start to turn red in the comb till they are a few weeks from being ready to lay. At 12 weeks old, a pullet isn't anywhere near being mature enough to lay, regardless of parentage.

At 12 weeks a pullet can get flushed. Post a pic and we can sex your chick for you if you're concerned.
