rosster? sex link?

[0die]

about 16-17 weeks old...was sold as a sex link pullet but I expected a lot more gold color...well any gold or any color other than white...it's all white and almost identical to my supposedly leghorn...but this one has more pronounced combs and the tail feathers are upright while all the other hens the tail feathers are much more flat. any chance it's a rooster?

That looks pretty much exactly like my white rock pullet. Mine is really, really heavy though, so if yours is light and slender (can't really tell by the pic), it's probably another leghorn. Even male red sexlinks are creamy colored with brown spots on their wings rather than pure white. It is definitely not a red sexlink.
At 16 weeks, I'm pretty sure that's a pullet, too

White Leghorn pullet. It's much too thin to be a White Rock.

was sold as a sex link from TSC...I assumed golden sex link...

I bought a leghorn from TSC about 2 weeks later, also from TSC...

both have the same top comb but the one pictured has a noticeable bottom combs as well.

they both have pretty much identical shaped/sized bodies & color...however the "sex-link: one stands more upright than all my other hens...and has a vertical tail...It is definitely a different breed than the one that was sold as a Leghorn...but TSC ain't the best for quality control of their chicks...

I really don't care but I do want to know what breeds I have...

what's a white rock?

this is the other white chicken...the one that I thought was a leghorn...please note the lack of a notable bottom comb as compared to the first pic in the thread...it's entirely possible that I have the two birds mixed up...

Bottom one is not close to laying like the top one. They both look like pullets or I would think so until I heard it crow.

They both look like Leghorn pullets. As stated above the first one is just closer to laying.

what's a white rock?

A white Plymouth Rock is like a barred rock, but white. Yours looks too slender to be a Plymouth Rock judging by the pic. My white rock is about 18ish weeks and heavier than my adult red sexlink hens. There can be a lot of variation in hatchery birds, since they often don't control their own breeding, and the first pullet is also older than the second. The "bottom comb," or the wattles, develop on the pullets when they are coming close to laying. You'll probably see them on the younger leghorn in a couple weeks!

I have a Barred Rock and it is way plumper that the two white birds...all my flock is less than 3 weeks of age difference.

The one with the "waddles" has had those for a few weeks...I guess the other bird will catch up...she is the youngest and the first white bird is the oldest.

So y'all think they are both the same breed? Both Leghorns?

 

[0die]

they are also the two that want to fly the most...very flighty, even with the wings clipped...
