brown leghorns

[jtr]

do 6 week old brown leghorns look the same because roos have red on them and both of mine look kindof like an adult hen so would a pullet and cockerel look the same at 6 weeks

No mine looked totally different by 6 weeks. The cockerels had the wattles and comb, and the pullets nothing. I will see if I can't find a picture.

the cockerel's color will be different. he'll have a darker chest and the pullets will have a lighter brown chest. And yes, the cockerels have combs and wattles by 4wks old. My pullets are now 15wks and are just barely getting any height and color in them.

Almost 8 week old cockerel: he's barely starting to get red saddle feathers and purple sheen on his wings his chest is darker than the pullets.

Two almost 8 week old pullets:

I went out and took the pictures, since apparently the one I said was a pullet was incorrect.

Here is the eight week old cockerel.

And eight week old pullet.
