Please help me sex these chicks!!!!

See, I'm seeing a flesh colored comb, no pink/red at all. I'm just comparing mentally to the pictures I've seen of confirmed leghorn roos at 6 weeks, they have a good amount of color already.

I agree, leghorns just make things harder. I've also had mostly crosses myself, I'm just going off the pics I've seen here. Be interesting to see the bird in a few more weeks to know for sure.

I'm not saying you're wrong, you are probably right I've never had a lot of experience sexing white leghorns. If that was a white rock, I'd be SURE it was a boy.


I find it quite similar to the male on the right here.. except it has more development (the one in question) and is two weeks older.

Wow, thank you. I am secretly hoping the leghorn is a roo. I don't care for the chick, it is a total spaz my daughter begged me for it though, so I gave in. Thank you. I will try and look up some more pics of LH chicks!

I think they're all female. That little white bird is a leghorn, I think the comb is normal for a female at this age, I believe a male would already have a good amount of color in the comb.

You can post again in 3-4 weeks to be sure.

Do are, you think all four are pullets? I wasn't so sure about Lucy! What do you think?

Leghorns are generally like this. They will calm down when they start to lay.

I've heard from a friend that her leghorns are amongst her favourites for personalities.

I sure hope so,esp. If it's a pullet

I do think they're all female, but it's still early enough for a later maturing cockerel to pop up. By 8 weeks you should have a pretty good idea who's what.

My Leghorn chick (about 4 months old now) is off her rocker in some cases, sometimes when she gets in the mood she will fly and run spastically around the yard. It's actually quite entertaining to watch.

My White Leghorn Lime is one of my favorite chicks she likes to stay close to people, doesn't mind being pet, and I love her personality.
