leghorn? Unsure.

it's not a leghorn. leghorns have lean bodies and the tails point straight up. This might be a white rhode island

I had a friend recently get a bunch of "leghorns" from TSC that turned out to be meaties. I've never had leghorns, but I have had meaties, and she looks like they did. Try not to stress though, I kept mine as pets and they did just fine. They didn't lay eggs well or live very long (less than a couple of years,) but were always happy and sweet.

TSC sells "tetra tints." She might be that. I believe they are Leghorn crossed with RIR. Good layers, friendly. I got a couple from TSC and am pleased with them.

The main reason I don't suspect a meatie is she has been growing at the same rate as the redlinks and has stayed the same size. If she was though, Id keep her as long as she was comfortable

Not necessarily.

How about now? What do you guys think? She's growing into her tail feathers ^_^

The tail going up is more Leghorn looking, but she seemed too round in the body still, for a Leghorn. Umm

check her earlobe. if it's white it's a leghorn. (the skin has to be white not the feathers on it)
