Anyone have a picture of a rose comb brown leghorn. I picked up at TS three chicks which I thought were EE's, they had the muff and the coloring, but yellow legs. After doing some research I noted that they all had rose combs and their legs are still yellow at 4 weeks. After more searching I believe I have rose comb brown leghorns. Don't have a picture, can't find the connection from camera to computer. UGH......
 
I have 2 of them just 6 weeks old! I've posted about them before and haven't gotten much responce. So far, I'm not sure how I feel about the breed. They are real skittish and scared of me and it really doesn't matter how much I hold them. I hear they are flighty, I'm making a seprate coop just for them, but I here they are great egg layers of white eggs-so that's a plus. I took these pictures of them today, I hope it helps! They are Gorgeous birds, aren't they?

They were a week or so old in this pic.

Here's a pic I found online of an Adult brown leghorn hen.

These definitely have muffs and look exactly like my EE with the exception of rose comb and yellow legs. I must have some type of mutant chicken ( : Will try and get a picture.
 
I've had one rosecomb brown leghorn in the past, and she looked just like the single-combed one pictured above, except with a rose comb. Very pretty, very shy. Never any sign of a muff.
