I’d like to know what the experts think regarding this giant. I have been certain this is a hen, but noticed a few differences with this giant compared to the other chickwe have...

^Chick age - 8 weeks
^This chick is noticeably larger than the other jersey giant (same age)
^Comb is larger and more pink/red
^This chick is as big as our Black Australorp and Easter Eggers that are 3 weeks older

We do have a Golden cuckoo Maran roo in this group of chicks that is 100% roo (pic included for comb comparison)...

Thanks in advance for your comments and opinions!
 
Probably male based on wattle growth and color. We have BJG males and females. The males are bigger than the females, and the legs (on our males) have always been distinctly thicker than the females. Our females have never colored up very fast.
