She’s definitely a lily, right? 7 week EE

I had a hen with a peacomb everyone was sure was a cockerel. Her comb was huge and red by this age but she turned out to be a she and gives me nice eggs. I've had lots of pullets get bright red combs early, especially in the heat of summer. 🤷‍♀️

Yeah. My Dominique’s and my barred rocks had vibrant ones as well. I was convinced she was a girl until the hackle feathers, the redness in her wings, and her tail feathers. She’s just so different from her two sisters
 
You wouldn’t happen to know about what time they start crowing? I keep finding different answers online.
It varies. Some crow as early as 3 weeks, or 12 weeks. Some start crowing between 5-6 months, which is usually average.
 
This is the one I was told was a boy because of how red the comb is. But nope. She lays nice blue eggs and is honestly one of the prettier hens I have.

Oh she’s gorgeous! I see what you mean. I just figured it would be my luck that after I decided against having a rooster, one would be one. My Easter eggers are my favorites. They’re so beautiful
