This is a photo of two of my white leghorns at about the same age. One is male and I believe one to be female? Dose feather sexing work on white leghorns?

I'm not sure about the feather sexing, but I was told White Leghorn males tend to show signs sooner than chicks in general.

I had one and at 1.5 weeks he had a large comb that got dark around 3 weeks and his wattles showed up a few days later.

How old is your chick?
 
The bottom photo is of my rue when I believe he was 2 weeks old, He is now 4 weeks. The top photo is of what I'm hoping is a pullet I received today.
