Leghorn cross????

[aef1000]

This one was found and given to me to raise along with my two Ameraucana Chicks I hatched.
I was told it’s a rescue but its always been super friendly and loves attention. Initially I thought it was a white Leghorn with dirt specks on its feathers but now the brown color appears to be parts of its actual color. What do you think it is? Also, hen or roo?

How old is it? It looks like a roo.

It is a cockerel, and probably a Leghorn cross.

Looks like an Amber link.

I think it’s a couple months old now. I was thinking that but it doesn’t have pointy hackle feathers and the tail feathers are rounded.

its because of how much comb and wattles that he has already

I was thinking that too, but don’t leghorn hens have pretty good size combs too? And the shape of the tail/saddle feathers are rounded.

When do they start growing Spurs?

i think it could be a white leghorn mixed with an amberlink
