Is this really a leghorn?

[Corticeiro]

Hi!

Got 5 new chicks yesterday:
- 2 white leghorn
- 2 brown leghorn
- 1 chick looking like a brown leghorn but with some sort of crest (please see pictures)

The couple that sold them to me claims that they only have leghorn chickens... White, brown and buff.

Is this really a leghorn? And when would it be possible to tell if boy or girl?

I'll post about the other 4 the moment I manage to get a clear picture of them.

Thanks in advance.

Absolutely not a leghorn.
Crest or not.

Hi everyone!

A few up-to-date pics:

I absolutely love that first bird.

Where did you get them from? They all look like mixed breeds to me.

Same here, same here

We got them from a backyard chicken keeper, nothing fancy - all allegedly leghorns!

They are all pullets and, as I stated before, as long as they lay anywhere near the numbers of a leghorn I'll be happy!

Oh wow! Yep, not LH's. I think you'll be happy with them though.

I can't tell much from those pics.
Do they have yellow legs?
Are they completely white? No signs of any black specks?

Just googled "brown leghorn" and I now completely understand what you all mean with "yellow legs"

You can tell gender at 7 weeks
