I have had 2 cream legbars before, raised them from chicks, since they are autosexing breed it's easy to tell who "should" be male/female. Anyways... I've raised many chicks before, and always the comb of a pullet will take much longer to grow compared to a roo, and the roo comb is much more pink or red than a pull... so anyways getting to my question... I purchased a female cream legbar, which I now am not sure if she's really a she... because her comb has grown so fast and is pinker than "usual" for a female chick. I have included a photo of how she looked the day I brought her home, she has the typical chipmunk striping down her body. But the other photo is of her at about 4 weeks old, and compared to my other previous cream legbar chicks, her comb is way more advanced which would usually indicate a roo... right? thoughts anyone? This breed is pretty rare so I'm hoping someone out there with cream legbar knowledge can help tell me if they've experienced this before with their female chicks....
