4 weeks old, husband THINKS it's a male? Anyone...?

Thank you !!! While we were sold an "Americauna" I would certainly settle for a female Leghorn !!! She/he is going to stay with us for a bit then, just to be sure. Thank all SO much, I am so glad I found this website. GREAT info from A to Z. I fought this whole "chicken thing" with my husband but in the end I'm really enjoying it. CINDY

The bird is definitely not an Ameraucana - as evidenced by being clean faced and having a single comb - the actual breed remains to be seen, but I do agree that White Leghorn is a strong contender. I've gone back through and don't see where any of the photos show the bird's legs - what color are they?

Bird leg photos coming up !!!!!!!!

Yeah - the legs also go in the "not an Ameraucana" column - they do not, however, rule out White Leghorn (or the other breeds mentioned previously). I still stand by my previous statement that the comb growth alone is not enough to rule this bird a cockerel based on the other characteristics that are/are not showing yet.

Looks like a White Leghorn, probably cockerel, to me.
