I pretty much already know I've got a cockerel on my hands, but I wanted to share this interesting turn out i had with my CCL chick. She (he) has all the marking of a female, but yet at 4 weeks old out of no where appears the big pink comb. So, unless anyone has heard of a pullet getting its...

Thanks Donrae, I told the breeder all the feedback I got, she doesn't seem too knowledgeable and I have learned from all of this as well. I only paid $20 for the chick, but now I don't know what to do with it. I really want a CCL and don't know if any local breeders that have them and won't be...

My goodness, well I can't thank you enough for your info, it has been very helpful. How disappointing... I'm going to let the breeder know this

Here's pictures of the parents

Thanks junebuggena! I guess I'll know for sure soon enough... I'll update here as she/he grows. I sure hope she's a she

This is my new girl I just bought a week ago. I'm guessing she's 10-11 weeks old?? I had no clue what she was until I googled her description. Thinking she's an Austra White. Poor thing has a cough.

Looks to me like you have an Austra White. They are fast maturing, white with black spots, lay brown to cream colored, sometimes even white eggs. Their legs are grey as well.
