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.

You can tell gender at 7 weeks

It does not look like a leghorn

It does look kinda cresty.

If it has a crest, then it's definitely not a leghorn. Maybe a polish?

Absolutely not a leghorn.
Crest or not.

Thank you cherrynberry, Winter Creek Coop, HappyClucker7 and The Moonshiner!

I tried to take a few more pics today...

Do you have any guess on the breed of the crested one?

And are the allegedly leghorns real leghorns?

We feel like the white ones are kind of squinting their eyes (please see last 2 pics). Is there something wrong with them or are we just worrying too much because we never had white leghorns before?

Cheers!

Anyone?

 

[Lollychicken]

The crested one definitely isn't a leghorn, wait until they are older to figure out what they are, some look the same as chicks but completely different as adults

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