    I was told approximately 15 weeks but I'm thinking they're more like 13 weeks.

    If the back one looks the same with its comb I'd say it's a pullet too. Generally the males will have a bit more comb and wattles and they will be much redderat this age.

    Your leghorns should be close to laying I would think.

    Up North when it's hot, Down South when it's not.
    Look to be pullets. But they aren't Barred Rocks, they are mixes. As long as they layers, you're probably delighted.

    Mixes are fine with me... I love them just as much. They are just pets/layers!
