Bantam Anconas

[Tina BN]

Hi everyone .Thanks for your input.I also am feeling it is a cockerel as that comb is just too full perfectly symmetrical looking etc

That's a cockerel.

This was her at 10 weeks and 15 weeks for comparison though she's not a bantam.

Lovely birdHer comb at10wks looks like a pullet to me as it is asymmetrical and scanty. I am really feeling mine is a roo but so wanting it not to be.It is very feisty when it comes to feed time but will now feed from my hand.

I'm still wagering that it is a pullet based on my experience with Anconas.
At 9 weeks, I don't see anything that screams cockerel to me.

Minus the 2-inch tall red comb, that is.

I think it's a long shot, but it could be female.
Right now my bet is on male though.

Yay that’s what I want to hear lol!
I am still hoping.Will let you all know when known for sure.
Other ones I had that were massacred (no other word for it ,was horrible to come home to)had started trying to crow and this one has not tried at all…and the comb is no where near as red.
