16 weeks boy or girl???

I a newbie (feb 2009) but I must add that my RIR did the same thing - huge comb, suspicious (to me) hackle feathers...except for the color, looked just like yours. We held off naming any chicks until we were sure. Well, I have five birds and five eggs most days and no crowing. "Red" now looks very hen, that big comb is flopped over so far I wonder how she sees sometimes.
So, hold off the axe until later, IMHO.

I don't have experience with this breed, but I think she's a girl too. Her saddle feathers, hackle feathers & tail feathers all look female. Her comb is huge, but it could just be because she's getting closer to laying. My australorp was the same way - very large wattles and comb at a young age, but definitely female.

What kind of chicken is she? I see you have anconas and she does have the white earlobes, but is not mottled. I looked up anconas online and the hens do have huge combs, just like yours does. I'm kind of assuming the females of her breed also have the large combs.

Not an expert but it sure looks girly to me. Pretty birds!

I think it's a leghorn. My brown leghorn pullets have big combs.

Does she have five toes on her left foot?

I have an Andalusian pullet that looks similar to your pic so I agree with those who say it's a girl. My Andalusian has a huge comb that's very serratedand double wattles and my neighbor accused her of being a him. But she's not. I think you have an Andalusian cross pullet. I say cross because her leg color is not blue.

fiberart, her birds are blue Leghorns, not Andalusians.

I've never seen Blue Leghorns, before. What beautiful birds! And the first one looks like a pullet to me, too.

I think it's a girl with a really big comb. The first pic of just the body, for sure a hen.
