Well, I have a leg horn and I thought she was ready when she looked like yours, but their combs get huge and hang over to the side. Their wattles also get real....they hang I guess lol.
Although your pullet has the body type of a white leghorn she does not have white earlobes. When she starts laying, please post the color of her eggs. I'm guessing that she may be a hatchery quality white rock.

Do the Silver Leghorns also have white earlobes? Now I need to go check mine. I know that my OEGBs have white earlobes but I never paid that close of attention to the two silver leghorns.

All of the leghorn varieties that I have seen/owned have had either white or cream tinted earlobes. Not sure about silver leghorns ???

I got my white leghorns from Meyer hatchery. http://www.meyerhatchery.com/produc...ckens&grd_prodone_filter=PRODUCT_ID = 'WTLS'#
I bought 2 hen and 1 roo but 1 hen died because of my dog.
I am sure the roo is a white leghorn because it has pretty leghorn weight and huge comb and waddle. It also have yellowish earlobe so i think my hen is also a white leghorn.
