Is Penelope a She (please) or a HE

[montana girl]

I have no experience with white leghorns. I got Penelope from the feedstore. She is always the one that hops up and out of the brooder, causes trouble, and is VERY forward in getting treats from my hand...ouches. They are all 7 1/2 weeks old.

In doing some research, leghorn hens can have quite big red combs too?

Compared to my red cochin and gold sexlink, her comb is huge! So what do you think?

This is Penelope

and penelope again

It looks like a roo to me.

Looks like a she to me... or a very very very very very very very very... VERY slow devloping roo. All the roo's of the white leghorn variety I had, developed bright thick pink red combs by 5 weeks.

looks like a pullet because she has no waddle. but i'm no expert.

Hmmm it makes me feel better that your roo's had bright red combs by five weeks.

I live in town and the ordinance is.. no rooooos!

I have a white leghorn pullet and mine looks just like that. I really think it is a SHE! Just to be clarified though I am no expert on this.

 

[SundownWaterfowl]

It is a Pullet.

I agree, I think she.

Sorry! By the size and color of that comb, I would say "HE".

Well, maybe not! No wattles there! Probably a "SHE"!
