Boy or Girl? 5 weeks old anconas.

[Cracker007]

The hatchery writes about their anconas "males have a rose-comb. females have straight upright combs". Yet, at 5 weeks this chick is trilling several times a day! And, come to think of it, actually started trilling at 3 weeks. What do you think? A girl or a boy?

Rose comb is not a sex linked trait, so I don't know what that hatchery is thinking, lol. This is definitely a cockerel.

Agreed....on both the comb issue and the gender

Yeah, i wonder where in the world they got that info from!
With a comb that big, rooster is a safe bet.
