More pics taken today..I'm guessing chick is 3 weeks now. Also how do I know if my chick is a bantam?

I could be wrong, but the younger photos look a lot like the chick I was asking about the other day, and the general consensus was a brown Leghorn, so that may be what yours is.

My first impression is: Brown Leghorn...

Yeah, I saw that post too! When I looked up brown leghorn, I was quite pleased. BEAUTIFUL BIRD! So any takes on gender? Or how do i know if my chcik is a batam? Is there some kind of measurments or something i can compare my chick too?

Brown leghorn, I don't think they come in bantam. Bantams are pretty small.

Well according to this website http://www.the-coop.org/leghorn/history.html they say brown leghorns can come in bantam. Everything that website says about the brown leghorn makes me hope I have one. Who knows, guess Ill just have to wait and see. This waiting game is not fun. Also, any guess on gender? I would just love to have a hen!
