I know for a fact the dad (rooster) was a leghorn. He was the only rooster we had. But I’d would think that based on my other leghorn hens, she would have had a cone by now. She is 5 months old.
Is she a leghorn?

Does she have a single comb? A single comb is a recessive gene so she would have to have two parents with a single comb. If she has anything other than a single comb she is most definitely not a pure bred leghorn.

Edit: at five months old I would expect a single comb to be obvious by now so I’m leaning toward her not being pure bred

White leghorn rooster crossed on red sex link or other red birds would give you 100% red chicks. So from the photos you have at least some red hens in your flock- what other kind of hens do you have?

She looks a little sturdier than a leghorn, but with the general shape and yellow legs she at least looks the part.

Let us know what other kind of hens you have and we can better help!
