These are pictures


of my youngest lavender leghorn chick - hatched on August 5th. Can you tell me if you think it is a pullet or a roo,please?

Looks like a roo to me. I'm no expert though.

 

[JetBlackJo]

Why do think that? I hope it isn't, as it is very tame and we've all got very attached to it

i agree, its probably a roo. the size of the comb at this age is looks too big to be a hen, but leghorn hens do have larger combs i believe.

i wanna say pullet for a month 1/2 old leghorn I would think the roo would have bigger comb wattles and legs

I'm going to say cockerel because of the size and redness of the comb, but hold onto him and post another pic in a month just to be sure.

thats a tuffy at 7 weeks...i want to say cockerel but leghorns combs grow pretty fast. re-post when it reaches 15 weeks of age. by then the saddles and hackles of a cockerel would be coming in if it is a cockerel

OK, thanks guys. Let's hope it's a pullet!

 

[JetBlackJo]

Good news all! It's a pullet - Yay!
