8ish week old leghorn X

[teekeh]

Hello! We have believed our 8ish week old leghorn/americana mix, Macaroni, to be a pullet until someone suggested she appears to be a cockerel. Her mother has a very large floppy comb so we figured that's why hers is so large. What do you think? She is so sweet and loves to be held, and doesn't really square up with anyone, although she will stick up for herself if someone messes with her.

At 8 weeks, that is an extremely large and colorful comb even for a Leghorn. It is a cockerel, in my opinion.

Thanks for the responses! Apparently we are in denial.
