What colour is this leghorn chick

[Rye]

Father won 2nd place at local show and mothers are true to type. As i said never had one like this before and I only have leghorns. Normally get black, white, blue and splash chicks.

Winning and true to type don't mean much online. Seeing the bird in person might be different, but that is a round bird with loose feathering in the pics.

But he's also only 6 weeks old. Too young to really know how he is going to develop and mature.

i think cockerel too, but was hoping maybe hen as other cockerel chicks comb and wattle are twice the size and redder. I really wanted to keep this one but my rooster won't tolerate any boys after about 18 weeks.

I just read the 6 weeks age posts. Didn't catch that before.

Maybe better pics would help, but looks older than 6 weeks. Young cockerel for sure, but 6 weeks with that tail and feathers?

I'll post a pic of his bro if you think he's big

I still think boy that's a pretty red comb and waddles for 6 weeks

It's not that he's big, it's the feather, body type, and short shanks. It could be a leghorn, but not a leghorn I've seen. Again, it could just be the pics throwing me off.

Also pic of white leghorn was taken a week ago. He's much more developed.
