White Leghorn

[borapiel]

This is Jim-Bob Cooter, she is a white leghorn that we got at the local feed store as a pullet. She is 4 weeks old. Hoping she's a she, but we are having doubts. She is our only Leghorn and her comb is much bigger than our other chicks. I don't see any pink in it. She also seems to be growing faster than the others. Please confirm she is a she. Thanks.

It looks cock-ish but if you could get feet, tail and full-body pictures that would be great.

You know a White leghorn pullet has a bigger beak, if you would take a side profile of this one with no one holding---might could determine if its a hen or rooster easier. Can not do it with these pics.

Pullet.

I think that's a pullet. Leghorns freak folks out, they get larger combs early. but, it's still a fleshy pink, and really not that large yet for the age and breed.
