Need help on gender

[Jojomama]

This is Vanessa she is a leghorn, first pic she is 3weeks second she is 4weeks but I am starting to think she may be a he can any of you help me and tell me what you think

Leghorns, especially white Leghorn hens, have very large combs, even as pullets and chicks. I had a WL pullet who's comb was even bigger than that at 4 weeks! I'm going to guess that Vanessa is a pullet, but correct me if I'm wrong. She's a pretty little girl!! Good luck with your birds!

Actually, I'm second-guessing myself. Is the comb very red/pink, or is it a dull yellow orange? A brightly colored comb on a young bird typically indicates a rooster.

It is more pick than yellow

Even in a leghorn, that's a lot of comb for a 4 week old. Hope that my gut is wrong on this.

Even though Legorns have large combs, it looks very pink. I'm going to guess cockerel. Wait until six weeks, and post another picture. We can see then if it gets any redder.

Ok thank you

Cockerel I believe. Girls get big combs too but, theirs flops over - which is something to hope for.
