White leghorn?

[srutan23]

I was given an 8 week old chick. Is it a white leghorn?

It's either a White Leghorn or a White Plymouth Rock. If it is a White Rock, it's earlobes will turn red. If they stay white, it is a White Leghorn.

It looks more like a white rocks than a leghorn. Leghorns tend to be very slender and have a more upright carriage to them. Yours seems a bit stocky for a leghorn.

Thank you for the responses.

Looks like a White Rock to me.

I'm thinking White Rock, too. You'll know for sure when it is older.

Updated pics, so are we still guessing White Rock?

I would say White Rock. Two years ago I got five free white pullet chicks. They were supposed to be all White Leghorns. But by 8 weeks old, only two were Leghorns, one a roo, one hen and the other three were White Rocks. They are great layers and real tame.

Most likely. If the earlobes turn red you will know for sure that it is a White Rock.

It is a White Rock. Earlobes are definitely red now.
