brown leghorn pullet vs. cockerel

Salmon breast at 11 weeks is pullet. One will develop faster than the other, that's just a given. But at this age a leghorn roo would have a pretty impressive comb, twice what a pullet has.

Awesome that makes me feel better thank you. The combs are both still quite small and both light pink. I can't wait to give her a tiny hug tonight!

The smaller one just started growing this week but the bigger one is too so it is still bigger than the other one. Not the greatest pics, they would so not cooperate. The bigger one on the left is the one in question.

sorry didn't realize this was sideways

It was almost a perfect picture!







The one on the bottom is the smaller one

I know this is an old thred by a fee years but maybe I'll get lucky and someone will see this. I have a 6 1/2 week old light brown Leghorn that has very pullet colors in feathers but a very large comb turning pink. Hoping someone here could tell me if they think it's a pullet (I think it is but I'm also hoping it is so my judgement is a swayed a bit).
If someone here see this please let me know so I can post pics of them
Thanks
