Hen or Roo? They got me wondering!

[ccredeur]

Good morning. I’m jumping on the band wagon. Do I have a hen or roo?
White leghorn, 11 weeks old. We hatched him. We assumed roo because that comb grew in fast. But I’m starting to wonder? No attempts at crowing. And unless I’m not seeing it, I don’t see saddle feathers coming in. What do y’all think?

I'm not very good at this, but I believe you have a rooster.

Thanks for the input! He has us stumped lol.

Leghorns can have HUGE combs and waddles.
To me (I’m no professional!) nothing screams Roo

Oh man! You give me hope, lol! We have a leghorn pullet we purchased at our feed store and her comb and waddles are small. Nothing like this guys. His was exagerated a week after he was born. But if he is a she I would not be mad!
Also, I LOVE the leghorn combs. They are my favorite.

At 11 weeks that has to be a cockerel. It's male specific feathering should start coming in shortly.

Thank you! All of my other teens have gotten their feather patterns already and we can pretty clearly see who is what. But this guy was our mystery.

Yeah, I’m gonna say Rooster.
