what are the major differences between

[coldinnh]

leghorn and RI whites? also Sussex and Delaware's? I dont understand what a pea, rose ,etc comb is- my girls are 6 wks. (seems like longer)
I have two chicks who also have Sussexx or Delaware colouring but are bantams and do not have full tails- soooo what may I have?

First here is a post I did and it should help on comb types. It has comb types along with other information...
https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=343605

Sussexx - should have a solid Black Tail
Delaware - should have a Barred Tail

If you are getting /got them from a hatchery -
Leghorn should be more leaner than a R.I. White (so that you know the R.I. Whites that you get from a hatchery are not true R.I. Whites. True R.I. Whites will only come Rose Comb)

I'd bet the bantams are columbian wyandottes.
