Second guessing that my big boy is the breed I purchased

[skadman22]

I bought him as a white leghorn, but he just doesn't seem like that's what he is to me now. He is huge, and his comb is straight up, white ears, slate grey legs, pure white feathes

He looks like a Leghorn aside from skin color. Their combs should stand straight, they should have white earlobes. I have seen plenty of white skinned LHs, though they typically come from project pens.

If he's from a backyard breeder then he is probably a mixed breed. If he's from a hatchery/feed store he is probably one of their hybrids.

Maybe an orpington? Merely a guess, but he looks like mine would with a non-frostbit comb and the leg color matches I think

He has white earlobes and completely wrong conformation.

He's either a LH or a LH mix.

I had a Leghorn cockerel who was GINORMOUS. Looked just like that guy, except for the leg color.

I have a much better pic of him somewhere, but I got a new phone recently, and haven't organized my old pics. He was a good boy, but I had to re-home him.

His little eyebrow whispies kill me.

Haha! I never noticed them before!

I miss him. He had a better temperament than my current rooster, but I couldn't rehome my current guy because he's too mean.

He's now living on a big farm with his own girls. The gal I gave him to updates me sometimes.

Okay, fair enough. I haven't really looked too closely at my white male so I was kinda just pulling a breed out of my hat on that one

There is a breed that fits, American bresse, but I think they are extremely rare. So I don't think it is that, but wouldn't hurt to ask if you bought him from a breeder.

His parents were bought in a lot of several breeds at a auction and they were WLH... Him and his brother were hatched and being Roosters they were sold as WLH. That's all I know, I was looking for a trio or chicks and a friend of both of us asked if I would like to get them, I didn't want two roosters so I agreed to the one and I paid $10 bucks, not a big loss on my part and he's a beautiful boy, he's just massive and I have had to resort to brahmas in the hens to keep him company because they are the only ones that are remotely close enough for him to not smash. Honestly he's scared of his own shadow, but I still don't want him to be alone so... Brahmas girls it is. Their eggs will be for our family to eat, I have no intention of sending those little ones out into the world lol.
