Leghorn? Cockerel or pullet?

[KikiLeigh02]

My AustraWhites are only 3 1/2 weeks, but it appears all of the males have yellow legs.

Not an austra white, Wrong leg color, Looks like an Exchequer leghorn to me.. Both are cockerels..

Austra whites are suppose to have slate colored legs with pink under their feet.. All of my austra whites have the correct color.

I'm still very new to chicken genetics, so I still have lots to learn. All I can find is that a first generation cross could have either leg color, although I have found a few debates as to whether or not this cross is sex-linked for shank color (Males=Yellow, Females=Slate). So I'll have to keep researching. The hatcheries that offer AustraWhites also claim that a first generation cross can have either shank color, I know information from them can be iffy though.

So sorry for the de-rail OP. I still think they look like a Leghorn mix. If they're barnyard mixes though most birds crossed with a Leghorn will be white with black specs.

2 handsome cockerels!!!! Will you keep them?

No, I'll try to place them but if I can't they'll be served up on my table.
