My mother purchased two leghorn pullets at 9 weeks old and now a few weeks later, we are wondering whether we still have two girls.
One is white (Snowdrop) and the other is lavender (lavender questionable Hemlock).

Hear are some pictures. Im very certain the white one (snowdrop) is a pullet. she has a lovely crest on her head.
Lavender has not crowed or anything, but has a very developed comb and wattles, but could this just be because the breed adults have very big wattles and combs?

LEGHORN EXPERTS opinions please!!!

I have included pictures of them both for comparitive reasons. I can see no saddle feathers either. Snowdrop is definately a girl, but is Lavender?

Please help!!!
 
I am not an expert but I guess roo cause those are developed waddles and comb. But if it hasn't crowed yet, I'd keep it til it did or layed an egg.

Good luck!
 
They may not look like Leghorns by American standards but they may fit the description of Leghorns in another country. We need to know where the OP is from to be able to advise.
 
These are English Leghorns

They should have floppy combs if they are girls.
I see there are some mixed views here.
I really hope they are both girls.
Has anyone got any pics that might help of a similar looking bird?
Thankyou all

If your in the UK the white one is not a pure leghorn, they shouldn't have crests, look like it has a bit of araucana in it, the blue looks abit rooish not sure about the white one
