Ancona or Exchequer Leghorn? Pullet or Cockerel

[lolodalton]

“She” came in a rare breed pullet mix from Meyer Hatchery and is now 14 weeks old and in the last week her comb has turned very red and has nearly doubled in size along with her wattles. I am beginning to wonder whether she is actually a he! And we have never really been sure whether she is Ancona or Exchequer Leghorn. She has the black on her legs and beak like an Ancona, but seems to have more white than pics I’ve seen at this age. Thanks for any info you can give about gender or breed! One thing is sure, she is absolutely my favorite of all the chickens I’ve owned. Super friendly, curious, and kind to all the other chickens - including a couple of newbies. The “close up” pic sums up her personality beautifully!

She might be a girl if she is a leghorn. They get pretty large combs

I’m really in love with her!

Looks like a female exchequer leghorn to me. Mine is named Polka. Mine is about the same age and her comb has doubled in size in the last ten days. Also has the dots on the legs.

Saddle feathers in the back look female.... so Pullet. Who's getting close to laying.
