We have two White Leghorns, Popcorn and Buttercup. Popcorn has grown a very large comb and wattles compared to Buttercup, so we were assuming "she" was actually a "he". However, I found a white egg today and now I'm thinking that Popcorn is in fact a hen, and has just matured faster than Buttercup?! They are both 15 weeks old. At what age can you definitively tell a hen from a rooster?
I'm sure you have girls. I spotted our cockerel leghorn at 4 weeks.



7 weeks.
 
One of my little cuties, only 17 weeks laid the prettiest white perfect egg today.I have 3 white leghorns and I can't tell them aprt yet to give them names as they look almost identical and I have not found anything on each that I can poit to as different.
