Post Pics of your Leghorns

We are not sure if this is a white leghorn? Any thoughts? Pullet? 13 weeks old...
At 13 weeks, yes, I think that pullet is a good guess.

And yes, she looks like a leghorn, she:

-is nice and streamlined
-has bright yellow legs
-has white earlobes
-is bright white (yes, they come in lots of colors, but white is most common)
-her single comb is already getting a good size (and yes, they also come in rose comb, but single is much more common)
 
I have 6 white leghorn pullets that I got from Tractor Supply. I was expecting these anti-social birds based on everything I had read, but they are really sweet. I've got them eating out of my hand & perching on my shoulder. They are now almost 4 weeks. This was a couple of them last week, watching me clean out the brooder:

I'm really pleased with them, so far.
 
Roo or hen
how old?

My first guess would be female, so pullet (since she is clearly under one year of age).

The reason I guess pullet is that those tail feathers look female (one bunch of nice straight feathers, no curved feathers starting to grow in, none of the pointed thin feathers at the tail base...though those come in at 4 months or later)

Also, she has NO color at all on the face or comb, and looks like she is probably old enough that if a rooster, there would be some color.
