Think it's a leghorn mix.... need someone to confirm this!

[Chicken Frenzie]

This is Laker, my *leghorn mix* rooster. He is about.... 3 months old?
He was hatched in a classroom at my school, he couldn't get out of his egg so kindergardners tried helping him out of his egg. Then after he was taken out, they gave him to my middle school science teacher, and he nursed Laker back to health. He has part of the egg shell permamently fused into his head. But he's fine! Now, I'm not sure if this is a leghorn, or a leghorn mix. He is starting to get rusty feathers, and he has a sort of wyandotte's pattern on his chest. Came out of a white egg.




Thanks!!!!

Your text color is too difficult to read.

Sorry, I don't know enough about leghorns to answer your question, but that's an interesting story about the egg shell on his head

Sorry, just wanted to have some fun. But anyone know?

Probably a leghorn mix. this is one I had, he was a leghorn/red star cross. He was white at first, but slowly got these brown patches.

i don't see much leghorn, looks production type 2nd generation sex-link maybe and may be a roo. hard to see but those dark red wing spots and possible saddle feathers coming.

Yup, I know he's a rooster. But okay!

I really don't know other than to say, I think it's a Leghorn mix like mine. This is Melody and yours is colored very similarly to her. This is the best picture I got of her before she was killed last week. She had the same coloring on her neck and back...she was solid yellow as a chick. The Mixed Pullet bin at TSC said she could be a Tetra Tint, but I really don't know for sure...

Okay, thanks for your reply! Sorry about Melody.
