Welsummer roo or pullet

[capnjb]

I was able to swap it from the person we got it from. After comparing it with a known pullet I'm pretty sure this guy was a rooster. The color of the chest feathers was completely different and the comb was easily twice the size. The chest was very dark with black in it. The pullet's chest was much lighter with no black at all. I'll have to check with him in a few weeks and I'll post back.

I can post a pic of the one we have now later on. They'll be 6weeks Monday

Ours is most definitely a rooster. At 3 weeks they developed a big comb, by the end of this week (5 now) it's turned nice and pink at the bottom. We have one other that has a nice salmon breast and small comb so I am positive she's a girl. And another that has similar markings that is also a girl. Now I'm just trying to figure out if they are Leghorn or welsummer. We should have one pullet each, but the Roo was a accidentally ship so I am not sure what he is. I'll post pics, maybe someone will have input

Pullet #1 (Roo)

Any suggestions to light brown Leghorn or welsummer?
He's very friendly, loves to be around us. Hoping it stays that way because we'll keep him if he's a friendly Roo.

Our two pullets (one welsummer and one light brown Leghorn) not sure who is which yet.

Pullet #1

Pullet #2

Both have much smaller, pale orange combs, and salmon colored breaats so I am confidant in them being pullets.
The Roo pic above looks kinda like he could be either breed. Looks like both but darker.

Female specific coloring. The skin at the base of the comb is flushed, but the comb itself is still pale.

Sorry pics are a little blurry, my phones camera isn't the best for resolution or color clarity.

These are probably your Welsummers. The chick with the larger comb is probably your Brown Leghorn.

Sorry the pullets are one of each. The large comb was a accidental mix up. They sent him instead of my crested cream legbar. The combs so big because it's a boy.

The two pullets in person have different color patterns in wings, chest and tail. They just don't look like on my photos (bad camera) the second pullet had a much lighter salmon color breast, white tips on her feathers, and a different black, brown stripping pattern. The other has more darker salmon with a tiny bit of black on the back of her head, and a darker brown, almost the color of off brown with wider tail feathers.
