This chick is 5 weeks old and is supposed to be a Welsummer pullet. I had brown leghorns with my last batch of chicks and at this stage I honestly can’t tell the difference.

Do I have to wait and see if she gets white earlobes? Or is there another way to tell?

Pics would help. They didn’t want to upload to the first post for some reason.
 
Looks like a Welsummer to me. A Leghorn would have white ear lobes.
I went back thru my pics and it didnt look like the brown leghorns starting showing white earlobes until they were much closer to point of lay. Maybe close to 13-14 weeks old or so
