I think they have or have had Leghorn Roosters

Good Evening, I had to look back to see what was going on when the chickes were 3 weeks old Last June https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/leghorns-have-been-the-easiest-chickens.1254494/page-26

rooster was bigger that the other chicks, he came with a green dot on his head, but if you look at the wing feathers you can defiantly tell if you have a rooster.

Leghorns are wired very smart. they were quick at doing exactly what chickens were wired to do. Roosters are wired with a job, they heard, they stop the hens from fighting, they tell the flock when to go in the coop, but I tell you. I have had buff Orpington roosters and this leg horn rooster is the BEST watch dog. You need to pick him up, talk to him. My rooster dost try and "flap me" but his spurs arnt very long and it really doesn't hurt, but you have to train them. i have a small kids rake and I use it to herd the chickens into the coop when I want them to go in, and I use it as a rooster blocker. I just hold it away from my body in-between him and me and it stops him from jumping me. But again he is doing his job, guarding his territory. I really like this rooster. He was just shy 3 days 8 week old and started crowing. So look back through me 2 Leghorn threads. One is for new chicks

and the other is for when they are grown.

I raise Single Comb White Leghorns and Rose Comb Dark Brown Leghorns. They are quite flighty compared to other breeds. This fellow is a cockerel.

This one was a reserve champion at a show.

Oh he’s handsome already! I’m now convinced I have a pullet. She has no sign of pink yet on her comb and it’s tiny and she’s about 4 weeks now.

Here are some that are around the same age as yours. Leghorns develop faster than most other breeds. They start crowing sooner too. These are probably a little older there are two cockerels and a pullet.

Another little cockerel.

It's a pullet. 100% positive.

Both sexes get spur buds. A cockerel at 6 weeks would have a big, bright red comb.

@The Moonshiner had hundreds of them. I'm sure he can also help ease your mind.

I will try to get a better one soon! They are sleeping but the little leghorn is closest to wall of brooder
