Establishing if hen

[Champagnechickens]

can you tell at the months old that a chick is a rooster my the comb at the top of the head?

Post a picture of the bird in question and we may be able to tell you its gender.

A photo and clarification of age (did you mean three months instead of the months?) is needed. Yes, at three months gender should be apparent, but those less experienced with assessing characteristics are not always sure

I think that is a cockerel.

Looks like a small (young bird) with a whole lotta comb going on. Looks like a boy to me based on that comb growth.

However, age would help, as would side pictures where the feathers on neck and feathers on back and tail are apparent.

Is this the only one with comb development like this? Did you get others of same breed?

At 6 weeks comb size and color should tell the tale for most breeds.
Saddle and hackle feathers don't come in until about 16 weeks.

Looks like a male.
