So I just picked up six brown leghorns from TSC and realized as I was putting them into the brooder that one is definitely not a leghorn - the face is much more speckled like a gold-laced wyandotte. The bin at TSC was labeled pullets... my question is, what are the chances this rogue GLW is a pullet? I might keep the GLW just because (and name her Rogue, of course), but I already fell in love with a barred rock cockerel (stole my heart at 2 weeks!) and don't want to chance keeping another bird that I won't be able to get rid of - I already have 3, or 2 if I decide to keep my sweet boy, for my capon project.
PICTURES!!! The suspected GLW: Leghorn: Also, a couple (far back, back left) are darker brown while the other three are reddish. Just color variation?
I think the chances are 50 50 on the pullet question. I think it could be any number of chipmunk looking chicks. Perhaps even a SS. I think the darker ones are Brown Leghorns just dark ones. Congrats on cute chicks.
