8 week old Blue Breasted Brown Leghorn Pullet?

I guarantee that's a cockerel.
With that variety the sexes have different patterns and that's the male pattern.

Then I reckon it's time to start looking for a good home for my little guy

I reckon just to update, he is indeed a little roo. I tried to integrate my young ones in with the older flock last week and he instantly took to fighting with one of my 2.5 year old roosters. I rehomed him, and while in was in the transport box I heard him crow for the first time No white eggs for me this year.

TL;DR - It's a boy

That's a bummer. Hope you get some next year.

Hello everyone! Long time creeper, first time poster here I went yesterday and purchased 7 new additions to the family. They're all "supposed" to be 8 week old pullets, but my blue breasted brown leghorn has me a little nervous. She has small legs, and her mannerisms are that of a pullet, but her comb (although more peach than red) is very large compared to the other pullets. I already have 2 adult roosters that I love, and with a flock of 23 hens, I won't be able to support another roo, so I'm hoping and praying that maybe the comb doesn't mean anything. There's not a lot of info online about blue breasted brown leghorns, but I figured if there were any help to be found, it'd be here Thank y'all in advance for any help y'all can offer!

I have these. I think that's easy to pull it. The rooster will have red in their back. Ben's develop a large floppy comb pretty young. They do act like typical leghorns. These are bread from the brown Leghorn and the blue Andalusian. I get that it's hard to determine when you don't have both sexes to compare. I believe it is a pull it

All my leghorn pullets have huge combs and as adults they are so large they flop to one side covering an eye, like a 1950s hairdo! So don't give up yet!

Aww. Well that suck eggs. I was hopeful for you
