Is this golden comet a cockerel?

Is this seventeen week old golden comet a rooster or a pullet? I think he is a rooster, but I just want to know what other people think.

Hmm, I'm sorry to say but that's not a golden comet, that looks more like a leghorn IMO

It's a white Leghorn pullet.

After we got him/her as a chick at our hardware store we researched the breed. It said that male golden comet chicks are yellow ( he was yellow ). We went back to the hardware store and we asked if it was possible that he is a leghorn and they said that they got their leghorn shipment at a different time and that he was not a leghorn. Is it possible that the hatchery accidentally got a few leghorns mixed in with the golden comet shipment?

Yes, the stores have a very bad habit of mixing the breeds up and together

She's a pretty white Leghorn pullet. She may have been left over from the last order when you bought her, or the hatchery may have made a mistake on the store's order. She's a nice looking bird that will lay better than a sex link, once she hits her laying stride she'll flood you in nice white eggs. I know lots of folks who get backyard birds don't want white eggs, cause those are "store eggs", but let me tell you a few pure white eggs mixed in with your other eggs will really set them off in a basket or carton!

X3 on White Leghorn pullet. Golden Comet is a hatchery label for Red Sex Links which are produce by crossing red gene roosters with silver gene hens and they have red earlobes. Golden Comet (Red Sex Link) cockerels are white with reddish feathers in the saddle, and the hens are reddish with white feathers in the tails.

Yes as everyone said it is a WLH pullet.

Oh my gosh! This morning I woke up and saw a white egg! Is it possible that a New Hampshire red can lay a white egg? The leghorn was in the nesting box too but the New Hampshire was the one who has recently started laying. Plus I thought that he was a golden comet male.

It's from the Leghorn.
