Hen or roo? Ideal 236

[Hei 20]

I recently got and ideal 236 chick and the place I bought it from told me that their pre gendered, all females, the thing is my chick already has an overwhelmingly large comb, they're a little over 2 weeks now, maybe three weeks. I have two others in a separate router that are 4 weeks older and yet this chicks Crest is already huge compared to them. My question is; could this be a a roo or is it just part of the breed to have larger combs at a younger age?



Thanks ahead of time!View attachment 2465932

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
It looks like a White Leghorn hybrid cockerel.
Vent sexing is only 90% accurate.
