Hen or Rooster?

I'm having my doubts. Should I expect this approx. 12-week old Leghorn to start crowing soon?!

No, the comb would be much bigger and much redder by now.

Thanks! I was thinking that too, but the tail feathers are just so tall, different from the other ladies. It's my only leghorn in the flock, so wasn't sure about the breed characteristics.

If it were a cockerel, those feathers would be sickle feathers by now.

Agree it's a pullet. Those upright tail feathers are a Leghorn characteristic. I see white eggs in your future!
