can white leghorn hens have a big comb?(pic added)

can white leghorn hens have a big comb? I don't know if I have a hen or a roo. It hasn't crowed yet so I don't think it is a roo. But then again I have no idea.

They can! My hen, Squig, has a HUGE comb, and everyone asks if she's a rooster, but she lays me an egg a day, so I'm pretty sure she's not.

A pic would help, though.

It screams roo to me.

It makes no roo noises though???
Also pelvic bones are apart by about 1 1/2 inches...

Is it still making baby noises? It is hard for me to have a great opinion without the general age of the bird.

No not really, some times so I am pretty sure it is young.
