Leghorn?

[ap4317]

Due to circumstances we ended up with one single baby chick. When we asked where they got her from, if they happened to know her gender, and what breed she was, they responded saying they have no idea on the breed and that "she" was most likely female as the hatchery they got her from supposedly happens to have an high accuracy rate on sexing baby chicks. They only knew that she was an egg laying breed. I am thinking Leghorn but I could be wrong.

And the hatchery having a high accuracy rate on sexing chicks doesn't mean that the gender is always going to be correct as mistakes do happen.
So I was wondering if "she" was truly a female and if she was a leghorn.

Her hatch day was around April, 3rd so I do understand that it might be too early to tell.

I have tried to take pics of her but it was hard as she kept moving around

I also had her out and was trying to type this up with her around but ofc she kept pecking at the keys and ruining what I had typed up so I had to put her back.

At the moment I do not have good tail or leg photos of her as it completely slipped my mind. I was only focused on snapping photos of her before she outgrew her baby stage.

To many breed start out like this to accurately determine breed. And far to young to sex also. That being said it does show traits that point to White Leghorn but to early to say 100% sure. Have to wait a few more weeks to determine sex.

Here are some pictures of my WL chicks. I think both are cockerels.

Yeah I figured it would be too early to tell. I was wondering if she happened to be showing any early "signs" of being a pullet or cockerel. I guess I will keep updating pictures of "her" until she gets to the age where it would be easier to tell what gender "she" is.

Here one of my WL pullets.

She definitely looks a lot like how April (our baby chick) looks at the moment. Is she around the same age as her? The comb growth looks similar.

She was born around April 1st.

Are the legs yellow? If so, it looks like a White Leghorn pullet to me.

I just took pictures of her legs, to me it looks to be orange but I can be looking at my shades wrong lol
I was trying to have a full on photo session with her but it failed as she would not stay in place so even grabbing a photo of just her legs was a challenge

Ah so she's extremely close in age to our baby.

Yes! They are the same age. Your girl's legs will get lighter the older she gets. My WL hens' legs are pale now. She definitely looks like a WHite Leghorn chick. You will know for sure when she feathers out all white with white earlobes. WL hens are great layers! Do you have another chick with her? They can get lonely by themselves. If not, Tractor Supply or a feed store may have another WL pullet around 2 or 3 weeks you could put with her.
