Post Pics of your Leghorns

Leghorns never lay brown eggs.

It will be interesting to see what she looks like all grown up.

someone thought a Maran X red Sexlinks???

Would she come out so white?

Fun to guess.

Hello everyone! New to the Leghorn thread, though I have white and exchequer leghorns I hatched last year.

So my question-- there was an emergency sale from a hatchery of 25 mixed chicks straight run no way to know the breed. We could use some more layers and some roosters for meat, figured I'd could sell the others locally.

I am stumped on this chick. The flat comb, yellow legs, and chipmunk pattern made me think of a rose comb brown leghorn, but that seems like such an unlikely breed to be put in a hatchery mixed box and there are a few of them in there. I've never seen EE's without slate colored legs and they don't really have muffs so that ruled that out for me. All the other breeds I can think of off hand with yellow legs and chipmunk pattern have single combs?
Thoughts???




Here's a picture of all of them....

Maybe a Wyandotte

Maybe a Wyandotte

That's a good guess with the flat comb and yellow legs!
I haven't seen ones with the brown coloring like that though. The silver laced have that pattern, but more gray colored as chicks and the golden laced are usually more gold and black.
Are there brown types of Wyandottes? I'm only familiar with golden, silver, and red laced blue.

Don't know them color wise maybe someone else will chime in.

Wyandottes come in lots of colors. They come in partridge, and my partridge Wyandotte chick was a pretty light chipmunk pattern at hatch.

Need to see which Wyandotte colors your hatchery carries.

The RC brown leghorn comes in many shades....... I will need to find better pictures.


Have you looked through the chick pictures on feathersite?

I think it's going to end up being a partridge Wyandotte.
I will know for sure once she feathers out and gets the color in the lobes.
If it's red she'll be a Wyandotte if white probably the rose comb brown leghorn.
Guess we will see....

Thanks for your help

In all my years of chicken raising, I have never paid attention to when the ears color up!
