[Mary Poopins Love]

I understand. We got 4 Pullets from TSC One was a roo... Say hi to Bruno. But don't talk about him.

That's what I was worried about. I was hoping I was wrong considering the comb isn't red. But it seems that way

Comb growth being the only difference I see.. but same feather color pattern.. would be same gender.. males should be much lighter in color. Can you get a pic of that?

Both are pullets according to color.. I think.. what is the age?

Legbars are autosexing, males should have had a white spot on their head as a younger chick.

Only if that quality has been selected for and maintained.

It is a big comb may have to just wait it out. Either way let us know when you know for sure. I'd be interested to know

I sure will. Do they look like legbars? Does the feathering look like pullet?

Here are some photos from my legbars when they were young for reference. The coloring looks like pullet to me! Hoping for the best for you! First is of 2 boys, the second and third are pullets. 4th is all together. The boys have yellow chests and faces, the girls have eyeliner and chipmunk stripes. But like eggsighted4life said, it really does depend on how the chickens have been bred. Legbars have a very specific standard of perfection. Where did you get them from?

This is my chick at 3 weeks, but again mine is a supposed to be a starlight, EE. I am pretty sure it is cockerel at this point.

I've got a 4 week old legbar roo and he's differently colored than those two.

When he was a day-old he had a less distinct and grayer "striping" on his back then the pullets did and a white spot on the back of his head.

Whereas my pullets at about the same age looked like this:

The bottom one is very similar to the ones I have just a bigger comb.... that's what's throwing me off! Heck the one I have has a bigger comb than your roo..
