3 week leghorn male or fem ?

[Nora123]

hi I just wanted to know if my leghorn is female or male? It’s bigger than the other 5 chicks I have they are all the same age and it has bigger legs too. The comb is also bigger than the rest. I have 4 Ameraucana and 1 australorp, I know they are females but i would like to know if this leghorn I have is either female or male.

Definitely cockerel. I've never seen a pullet have a comb that big and red at 3 weeks.

Agree. Male

Thankyou for the reply I’ve been hoping it was a male

Can we get a picture of it standing on its own please. I'm thinking you've got a Cornish Cross there.

I'm hoping one of my polish chicks is a male, but he's young. His crest shows male characteristics...but he is smaller than the others...

Agree... Definitely a cockerel, but from your description of him, I'm concerned you have a Cornish x and not a leghorn as well.

I’m thinking it’s a leghorn

I think its a Cornish x. It looks too meaty to be a leghorn, plus a leghorn wouldn't be growing as fast as you say, no matter if it was male or female.

The store I got him from didn’t really tell me what it was so I just thought leghorn.
