I say it's a girl. A comb would have been medium sized and hot pink at 7 weeks, that's how it was for my leghorn. It would have crowed by now too. I'm not good at naming the breed since I'm a newbie. Better at sexing.

Probably still too young to tell the gender, but it looks exactly like what my Easter Egger chickens looked like at 7 weeks! this is what mine looks like now. Though mine is nearly twice the age of yours, Easter Eggers have that type of crazy coloring.

Wait until more of its feathers grow in. Chicken feathers are always changing.

My chickens are 3+ months old and just started crowing this week. lol. Every chicken in different, I think.

Oh wow!

I read that leghorns mature quickly so that's probably why. You're right! Every breed and chicken are different.

Haha. Yeah. I only have one Leghorn, but it's a pullet so I wouldn't know how early Leghorns crow. But it's taken my Black and Red Sex Links this long to crow. They're just a bunch of idiots anyways. Haha. I've seen Youtube videos of little 4-5 week old chicks crowing. That's nuts!

Wow! I have EE chicks just like the OP, and if this is what they'll look like, I'm psyched. So pretty!
