Welsummer vs Brown Leghorn

[Kathyb2]

I received my rainbow layers assortment from Mcmurray. I only plan on keeping 10 and I am giving the rest away. I have 10 chicks that appear to be either welsummers or brown leghorns. I would love to see pictures of either your welsummers or brown leghorn when they were a week or two old?

Can you post photos or your chicks? People who know what they are may not have photos of their own chicks at that age.

You're really not going to be able to tell the difference at this age, they're pretty much identical.

LEGHORN WELSUMMER

Big differences I see! Beaks, head, body color all different! Great pictures for comparison!

Great picture, just what I was looking for. Mine are definitely leghorns.

not a bad chicken, we had some of their rose comb brown leghorns, good layers, beautiful birds, a little skittish, you will need to handle them a lot to befriend them.

Although these are good pictures the lighting is different so colors will be different. I would not bet either way.
I did get the Mc Murry assortment years ago and got a lot of brown leghorns.
