Heres a pick of my light brown leghorn hen for comparison. She is 1 1/2 yrs old

I went back and looked at your pick, somehow I missed the tail feathers the first time, those are hen tail feathers.

Thats a really big comb a wattles for a hen.

wow!!! controversy ... lol well i am feeling better. heres one more pic...

You got a hen there.
A brown leghorn roo would have a LOT of different colour, like a black chest Orange/red neck and back hackles.

Only hens get the Salmon'ish coloured breast, you can already tell at a couple of weeks old just by chest colour if male or female.

This is my imported German brown Leghorn cockerel, he is 4 months old:

I did not even read the post first. As soon as I seen it I said brown leghorn hen! And then I read the post and seen you said it is a brown leghorn. You have a pullet there. And a very pretty one at that!




**I like to try and guess what the breed is then read, just to see if I am right
