Breed Help Needed

[Jwren7]

Wanted to post some updated pics- love these crazy birds! Hopefully they are all pullets

I know you guys mentioned the chest is something to look for as far as identifying breed of little Arya here, do you guys see anything that would differentiate between the Welsummer and Brown Leghorn?

I know this is outside of the scope of this thread, but none of my chicks really enjoy being held. I’m very calm when I pick them up and started stroking their chests instead of their backs, but are there any other tricks to get them to be more affectionate or at least to where they do not try to escape when o hold them.

I can't tell for that yet, but I believe she is a pullet at least. I'm not sure if you can tell by the chest, but once they have developed combs and battles, Leghorns have white earlobes and lay white eggs, whilst Welsummers have red earlobe and lay a dark often speckled egg.
