2 month old chicks, gender guesses?

[talkinboutchickens]

Hello, so I'll keep this quick and simple, I have 1 brown leghorn, 1 barred rock, and an SLW that I am unsure of their genders.
Someone on a leghorn thread had said that brown leghorns of sexually dimorphic but her saddle is still not looking right to me. More pointy and "drapey" than the other 2. I could definitely be wrong.

My guesses:
Barred rock, Aretha: Female
Brown leghorn, Myrtle: I badly want to say girl, but the feathers are so weird to me
SLW, Dan: Female (I hope? I have 0 experience sexing breeds that don't have single combs so I don't know what to look for. That said, are the wattles a normal size for this age for a female SLW, or is "she" a he?)

Thanks so much!

They're all females. Myrtle is not a brown Leghorn but some type of Easter egger.

The pointy you see on Myrtle is the feather pattern, not the feather-shape (saddle feathers are thin, pointy and shiny!), although I agree doesn't look like a leghorn

Thank you guys very much. I am very confused because a reputable breeder (Duck N Coop in Columbiaville Michigan), sold her to us as a pure brown leghorn... And all the other birds we got from him are pure. Perhaps it's just the coloring of her, or is she truly just not a brown leghorn? I reallllyyy hope she lays white eggs though (one of the only reasons we got her in the first place.)
Great news though to hear that they are all girls.

Edited to say, a few years back we did get a welsummer with a pea comb from there....

Doesn't look like any leghorn I've raised! Tbf I had light brown leghorns but even a dark brown shouldn't look like that, nor a buff. I would contact the breeder and see what they said

Oh no....Well I hope she at least lays white eggs... Good thing I didn't get her for breeding purposes or else that breeder could be in trouble for not selling me what I wanted lol.

You should be able to tell in the next little bit if her ear lobe turns white. I would guess not as most egg layer chickens we have in the US tend to lay tan to brown eggs unless certain breeds like leghorns. The seller may still give you your money back for the bird or provide a replacement, it's worth just checking in about what breeds they have (plus you'd be able to know what she is then! )
