It's 3 months old and I thought the combs too big for a pullet.. but I can't see any hackle feathers like my other roos the same age but they are different breeds

Leghorns get large combs and wattles very early. The combs and wattles on a 4 month old Leghorn pullet are larger than the combs and wattles on the full grown roosters of many breeds.

Pullet. Leghorns are meant to mature fast for quick meat and eggs.
