Breed help

Roo is a Belfiedel. Hen is either a white or brown leghorn (I have both). The picture of the baby is a day old just hatched yesterday. The picture of the bigger girl is a 10 week old pullet.

White leghorn are usually dominant white on a black base, which should produce white chicks with irregular black specks. The brown leghorn would produce chicks like the ones pictured

Thanks! We've been getting lots of white with black spot leghorns due to the cross breeding. Is it safe to say this is just a regular brown leghorn? Wondering if it would have any unique markings like the white ones.

Not if you don't have a brown leghorn rooster.. it's a barnyard cross or backyard mix.

You can see the barring on the older one, inherited from the sire.. brown Leghorn are not barred.

Cute chick, congrats on your new baby!
