White leghorn sexing help

[Ruby roost]

If anyone else was like me and wondered if their “pullets” they got from TSC we’re actually pullets this post might help sex your chicks. I purchased these 2 on July 2, 2020. They are 4 weeks old today. I questioned if they both were pullets from day one but the clerk assured me they were in the bin marked pullets so they were.....oh how he was wrong The one in all of the pics that has a bigger comb, splotchy feathering, shorter wing and tail feathers is definitely a roo. I am posting a lot of pics from the 1st day I got them to just this morning. I hope this helps anyone else out there that may be questioning if they have pullets or roos

You definitely have one pullet and one cockerel. Hatchery sexing is not always 100% accurate. TSC employees for the most part don't know what they are talking about and it is common to even get a different breed from their bins that what is advertised.

The one with the splotchy feathering looks like a Cornish X cockerel.

He looks like a leghorn to me.
I agree, a pair.

You can't feather sex a LH. Start a thread and post pics showing the comb and wattles, at 6 weeks.

Thanks for your post showing pictures at different ages, it is very helpful.
I bought my first Leghorn chick today, the seller told me she's a girl about 8 weeks.
The problem is, this chick has a got bigger comb than my other 8-week chicks, who are not Leghorns.
What do Leghorn owners think of my chick ?

100% pullet. A Leghorn cockerel would have a comb 10x that size at 8 weeks.

Thank you beautiful duck !
Would you say 100% pullet too if the chick were 6 weeks old ?
I have doubts now because the chick is not really tall, about the height of a bantam cokerel

Yes, I would.
