Hello I'm a new member. I have 6 leghorns and 8 isa browns. I have a question about my leg horns. I bought all 6 at the same time but I think one is a male even though they came from the same pullet bin in the store. The one with the big red comb I worried about being a roof. The other 5 look like the other pic. Please help

I checked out her neck feathers they look rounded and the ears at this time are still white. I can't guarantee they are the same age but close. It is getting very talkative as well. If it is a male I need to build another coop and pen

Those little white things on the side of the head will stay white on a leghorn. It's usually the color you will see on breeds that lay white eggs. There are a few exceptions, but the leghorn's stay white. Good luck with them. I actually had a legorn go broody once. She was a great Mom!
 
If have one broody I'd breed her. I have loved chickens since I was a kid on the farm. My job every morning was to collect the eggs
