6 week old whit leghorn roo or hen?

Hi everyone I'm pretty sure I already know the answer to this one I've only got the one leghorn chick I just picked up one to keep a single swedish flower chick that hatched company so I have nothing to compare him to.

Comb is very obvious but hasn't turned red? Slightly pink but the little swedish flower chick has a full on red comb and wattles already.

6 weeks old

Let me know your thoughts. Thanks

That does look like a little roo to me. Very big red comb for only six weeks.

I guessed as much. It's not red just pink all I have to compare him to is my little swedish flower chick who is nearly a week younger and has a much redder comb.

Any ideas what's going on with his toes? They are all getting crooked. I don't know whether I should be trying to straighte them or leave him be

I'd say little roo as well. He stands very proud and has a big comb for such a young age - a handsome young man! ​

He's a mad little yolk ! He's still in the house can't be kept off the kitchen counters at all. He will be getting evicted this weekend
