Supposed to be 2 White Leghorn pullets

[CtyGrlwantsaFrm]

These are supposed to be 2 White Leghorn pullets hatched the same day. The comb of one is larger and more orange. The other one has several black feathers on her body.

Are they both pullets?

Are they both white leghorns? Lol

5 weeks old, local breeder.

I think 1 pullet and 1 cockerel

I think 1 pullet and 1 cockerel

That's what I was afraid of.

 

[Boccom]

thinking that too but why are you afraid of having a cockerel you can usually return those most places

I'd wait another 2 weeks to see if the larger comb one turns more red or not. The black spots makes them look more like an austra white. A newer mixed breed.

Oh, wow! Is that breed heavier than Leghorns? Because that would explain why the one with black spots is so much heavier than the other one when they were hatched the same day!

Austra White. 1 boy, 1 girl.

Actually, I looked at your original post again. Maybe both are girls, because the one that has spots is an Austra White, and the other is a Leghorn. Leghorn’s combs grow faster.
