So you think that is is a cockerel? Thank you for the page about introducing chicks to big hens - I will start doing that soon!Both genders of Legbar have a little crest (tuft of feathers) behind the comb. It's usually more obvious on the females, but the males have a little one too.
And that comb is big enough and red enough to mean cockerel, given that he's only 4 1/2 weeks old.
You can start now, depending on how you do the introductions.
