Ancona hen?

Hi!

I think this Ancona chick is a hen. Exactly 3 weeks old. Thoughts?

I have never had any Ancona chicks, but from my experience with other breeds my guess would be rooster. It is still a little early though so I could be wrong.

It is still quite early to be sure but you can try posting in What Breed or Gender is This?

Early to tell, but it has a pretty big comb, although some breeds get combs early. Easier to tell around 6 weeks, but my guess is cockerel/rooster.

Anconas have massive combs. Like seriously massive.

A bit early, but looking like a pullet. Post updated pics at 6 weeks.
