Is this a leghorn?

[PrettySpeckleds]

I have an approximately 2 year old chicken. Her previous owner was told she was a leghorn. She is white with yellow legs and an orange comb and wattle. She is smaller than my 2 speckled sussex hens and does not lay eggs.

Your description and the pic fit for a leghorn. But usually they're really good layers. 2 y.o. and no eggs? Maybe she's sick or has something wrong with her. I heard orangeish combs are signs off illness.

I've had her for over a month now. She seems to be eating and drinking like the other 2 hens. She didn't lay for her previous owner either.

Can you post another pic of her? Maybe a closer shot?

Actually it might be a rooster... If the poor thing never Eggs for the previous owner or you, then she might just as well be a he... Ever heard her crow?

Well, I'd have to say your leghorn isn't laying because he's a rooster, and I've never heard of a rooster laying an egg.

There is no chance it is a rooster. By this age they would have had pointed saddle and hackle feathers and male sickles. I wonder if she has worms. Hens will stop laying and their combs will turn paler if they have enough of them. Mites or lice can also cause laying problems if infested.
