Leghorn breed, Rooster or Hen? 6 weeks old..

Oh. I thought they where all the same age.

The five in the picture are.

I'm saying a hen I have had a small comb like that at the same age. That's why I didn't think the black ones are roosters. The crowns just started to come in on the other four. The one black one is a little bigger then the rest.

The white leghorn I say is a rooster if he looks like that and is 6 weeks old. My pullet just now is getting a red comb and she is 15 weeks this Saturday.
My avatar has my roosters at four weeks old with combs similar to your six week old.
This is my pullet at four weeks old.

Then they are roosters. Pullets combs won't be red until they get ready to lay. They have different types of combs. Jsut because their comb is smaller than your leghornX chick doesn't mean all the others are pullets. You also need to look at the color.

Here is a pic of a 5 week old cockeral with a pea comb (EExCornish)
