Is this a leghorn? She was a freebie at tractor supply because she was the only one left from a previous batch and older than the other chicks. She is kinda small compared to my others (orpington, brahma, naked neck and 2

EE) She's all white with orange legs, a single comb and a perky tail.
 
Does she lay? White eggs = leghorn. Brown eggs = white rock. You can tell what color eggs they'll lay by whether the earlobe is red or white. White ear lay white eggs. Red ear lay brown eggs. There's of course more to it when you get into easter eggers and birds with blue earlobes, but that's the simple version.
 
None have started laying yet. We have 2 easter eggers though and my white silkie looks like she has blue earlobes.
Yes, those look like white lobes and the new angle of pics looks like perfect comb size to be a white leghorn pullet. The way you describe her as small compared to the other breeds mentioned is to be expected for her breed. If you look at the bottom of her feet they will likely be yellow, noting her true skin color. :thumbsup

Silkies should have lovely blue lobes, it may be my favorite feature of them. :love Also from TSC and suspected pullet? Did you already post pics for gender thoughts? :pop
