White Rock or White Leghorn? 8 Weeks old

[featherz]

here's a leghorn at about the same age (nine weeks) for comparison: much bigger comb, indeed.. and definitely a bit scrawnier

(to be fair, she was sick a few weeks back

)..

Yah I was thinking white rock too she seems pretty heavy for a leghorn, I love her anyways but I wish tabs was a leghorn just so I could get white eg too

the white rock I used to have looked just like that...

Her body and legs are pretty thick, leghorns are very dainty. Plus her ears are red and her tail is too short. I'd say white rock. They are very good layers!

it's a white rock, they dont get there full redness until they turn 4-5 months old.!

Definitely white rock - your chicken doesn't have earlobes quite yet, so they aren't white, but when they appear, they will be red. She is thicker and has a different comb than a leghorn. I know you want white eggs, but the trade off is that you have a less flighty, less easily spooked bird who is a good dual purpose bird.

The comb is to small for a leghorn

I don't see any white earlobes. She still looks too young to see them anyway. She is a rock. Has the same figure as them. Leghorns are thinner and have a much bigger comb at that age. I think it is a girl

Since this thread is two years old, I hope the OP knows by now what the bird is!

I did not notice that! Just found it in the recent topics
