By the looks of the longish legs and the way that tail is up, I would put money on it crowing in the near future. Sorry to say, color with EEs doesn't always mean one sex or another. If it is a solid colored one especially.

I personally think it is a pullet. At 15 weeks, if it were a cockerel, it would have significant comb and wattles. Is the Leghorn the mom, or did she hatch EE eggs?

It was my 1st hatch also, and her eggs were not fertile I learned that--after I let her set on her eggs 2-3 days after this one hatched. p.s......I made an error-----the baby is 14 weeks old today--8/14--sorry!!!!!!
