We were told this was a SHE but I'm pretty sure she was trying to crow this morning...
Is 10 weeks old and much bigger than the female Australorpe x Isa sibblings.
What do you think? 78525104_571209987026704_2048471118385250304_n.jpg 79246468_2457336137919631_1240394857256583168_n.jpg

Sorry but I REALY think that it's a boy.:idunnobut Im no expert. I just know that my girl Orpingtons didn't get a noticeable reddish comb until they were about 18 weeks old. :rolleyes:
 
The comb is unexpected for an Australorp or Leghorn. Some breeds color up fast and Leghorns tend to mature fast, so not impossible. But, still a lot of comb and decent sized wattles, leading me to suspect male. In 2-3 weeks the saddle feathers should start showing up if it’s a male.
 
There are rose comb leghorns so the comb isn't that surprising.
