Does my Ancona still look like a roo and Welsummer/leghorn?

[babyrnlc]

Ok, A while back people were suspecting the mottled Ancona might be a roo. The comb is big and starting to get pinkish, but the chick is over 6 weeks and I have read Ancona's have huge combs and this could still be a pullet? The neck feathers and tail seem to be rounded, but maybe because it is young. So what do you think, is Dottie still looking like a roo? She/he does not act it at all and no attempts at crowing. Thoughts?

Here is the chick we did not know if it is a brown leghorn or a welsummer. I cant remember which color earlobes it needed to be. Here is Princess Julia, what breed do you think she is?

And do you think this is a gold sex link or a red (I was told gold)

Thank you !!!

I have no experience with Anconas. No guesses here!

Red lobes are brown eggs and she'd be Welsummer. White lobes are white eggs and she'd be Leghorn. I can't tell 100% from the pics, but I'm leaning toward Welsummer. Leghorns have pretty delicate legs, hers are.....well........sturdy

Honestly the last one looks like a buff orpington. Is her color consistent over her body, not including the fuzz? Sex links will look like the back end has been dipped in bleach, lighter toward the tail. She looks pretty buff all over.

I found this thread with a 6-7 week Ancona roo. Dottie sure doesnt have a comb that big!

That would be awesome! I would love a BO. She is the same all over, I think, I will look better tomorrow, they are roosting already. That is funny it was never guessed a BO.

The ear lobes on Julia are sort of flesh colored, maybe possibly getting pinkish, but I cant remember, I will look better tomorrow.

I've had a few Anconas and yes, the girls have rather large combs. Yours looks like a pullet.

Ancona definitely looks like a pullet.
