Leghorn?

too young but guessing it's a white leghorn pullet

I was given these two babies when they were 5 days old. They were born April 19, and I was told they're Leghorns. Their combs are not developing the same, so does anyone know if they're different genders? Blanche also is more feathered already and has more tail.

Definitely two different comb types; Blanche looks to have a rose comb and Daisy has a single comb. I'd guess that Blanche may be a white Wyandotte

Sorry, hit Reply too soon. I meant to add, unless she (Blanche) could be a rose combed variety of white leghorn, which are much less common. Pretty chicks!

Thanks. I was wondering if the different combs and different rates of feathering meant different genders, if they're both Leghorns, but I guess not. I hope my two-year-old hens will accept them into their flock.

Now one of them is crowing every morning! I suspect Daisy, who will be called Davy from now on.
