I bought four baby chicks from tractor supply 2 weeks ago that were a week old. So they are 3 weeks now. I cannot remember for the life of me what breed they were. I'm 95% sure they are brown leghorns because I remember the eggs they lay are white. There is one chick the looks different from the rest. Her chest is very very light yellow, almost white. I'l post pics of her. She also has a larger wattle than the rest of the chicks so I'm now not sure if she is a she. She's the nicest of the chicks and the calmest. The chicks feathers are growing in. The other 3 have brown reddish ones growing in, hers are white. Again I'll post pics of her. Please help! Thank you!

they mostly look like white leghorns to me. Not sure about that last one though

Not sure on the breed - it's a little young to be able to tell the gender. Maybe try asking again at 6 weeks? You will get a better estimate. What is the temperament? That may help determine the gender.

She's the calmest out of the four and doesn't get to squirmy when I hold her like the others.

So far sounds like a pullet. however I have heard of the sweetest chick turning out to be a cockerel! The comb is a little large for 3 weeks, but that could just be the breed. Definitely post another photo around 6 weeks. Someone will have a good guess by then.
 
This is what the others look like. Are they brown leghorns?
