Welsummer or light brown leghorn?

[MariaR]

Is this a welsummer(I think it is) or a light brown leghorn?? It was supposed to be a leghorn. Thanks.

Do you see any color yet on it's earlobe? Welsummers will have red ears, and leghorns will have white.

It's a bit hard to tell from that photo what you have. A body profile shot might help. Leghorns are a lot thinner, and Welsummers have more muscle.

It's earlobe is red not white

Then I would think Welsummer as well, because there should be some white showing in that bird's earlobes by this age.

I know this is an old thread but maybe some here that answered will see it, could let me know what age I would start to see white in the earlobe of a light brown Leghorn. We ordered one welsummer and one Leghorn and I'm not sure which is which, they look so similar when we got them and still now at 5 1/2 weeks.
