That one almost looks like a cornish X to me.

+1 for LH pullet. Looks like my Miss Henny Penny, one of my friendlys, but a pain in the------ well you know.

Can't keep her off of me.

Not likely at 7 weeks old. This bird would be slaughter size if it was a Cornish X

Pretty sure that 3 years ago, there might have been some questions, but I think it is safe to say that most of this long ago been figured out.

The white rock will one day out grow the white leghorn. The rock is a more meaty bird while the leghorn is much more lean. The egg color difference I think has already been mentioned. If I'm not mistaken I think the leghorn will also lay more eggs than the rock.

Looks like a cockerel but I'm not 100% sure.
