Is she a he?

So my youngest son named her sparkles, but now at 14 weeks I'm wondering if it should be Mr Sparkles

What are the reasons for questioning his/her gender? Is her comb getting big and red? What breed is she?

Why not post in the Breeds, Genetics, and Showing Forum?

Depending on the breed, if the comb suddenly got bigger and redder, she is gettting ready to lay and egg. The comb changes in a hen a couple weeks before she starts laying. My white leghorn is 15 weeks old, and when her comb changed I thought she might be a he too, but then I remembered what happened. My guess is you would have noticed a difference before 14 weeks.

Looks just like our "she" Peep Peep. I'm guessing she.
