Rose Comb Brown Leghorn Gender?

About 5 or 6 weeks old

It looks like a pullet, because of the plumage. It doesn't look like a Rosecomb, looks like a single comb.

I agree Pullet and a single comb.

Hmmm it was labeled RCBL any guesses on what that means? They were all pure bred eggs.

 

[AccentOnHakes]

That's the only thing I can think of. My only guess is that they got it from hatchery stock, which sometimes mixes single combs with the rosecombs because rosecombs have lower fertility.

Hmmm I don't know the guy seemed legit

It is a brown leghorn though right?

 

[JerseyGiantfolk]

Yes, it is a brown Leghorn, I have 6 hens myself and I show one

Edit: I think it could be a Light Brown Leghorn

Thanks everyone, at least the important part is I get to keep Brownie since she's a girl.

So still think she's a female? Brownie has a huge comb compared to her hatch mates, it's also more red then the others. Is she supposed to have a big floppy comb? What is the proper name for that type of comb.
