Brown Leghorn Boy or Girl?

Quote:
Old English Game Bantam. But, to answer your original question, there are brown Leghorn bantams. Most large fowl breeds also have a bantam counterpart (even Jersey Giants) but there are several bantam breeds that don't have a large fowl counterpart - Silkies, Sebrights, D'Anvers, D'Uccles, Dutch, etc.

Leghorns will have yellow legs and white earlobes. Depending on their age, the white earlobe may not have developed yet. OEGBs might have a slightly white earlobe but I don't recall the color the legs are supposed to be (I believe it's based on the color variety and there are a heck of a lot of color varieties recognized in OEGs). Dutch would also be another possibility. They look quite similar to OEGBs but have a bit more prominent white earlobe.
