This is Blue. Our Jersey Giant chick. We initially thought Blue was a roo. Then we decided he wasn't a he so now we don't know. Any ideas?

He's a cockerel! Pullets of this breed shouldn't grow much of a comb at all or get very much color in their combs until they're old enough to be close to laying.

Welcome to BYC, by the way!

Thank you very much and thank you for the reply. We are new to chickens and have a lot to learn.

I agree that he is a cockerel.

Any updated pictures? Is it becoming more obvious one way or the other? I would love to know about your beautiful little chick! We have a white jersey giant, she looks like a rooster because her comb is huge, almost as big as a leghorn hen comb. Also, ours is kind of shrimpy. She's one of our bigger chickens, but she's obviously smaller than our Lavender Orpington. I can't remember how quickly her comb matured though. She's five now.
