Should we have named Pocahontas Big Chief instead???

Pocahontas- the black and white Ancona in the left background- was chasing my buff today, and I suddenly noticed how big his/her comb and wattle are. We always assumed it was a girl. It is probably 5 months old. No crowing, but it was either trying to mate or just being mean. Any insights? I will post better pic tomorrow. Thanks

Pretty far away, but it looks like a roo.

Do you have a better pic?

 

[the simple life]

I would say definitely a roo.

Here are better pics. Looking at these he definitely looks like a roo. He was a little younger than the rest of our chickens and that comb and wattle just snuck in without us noticing.

I'd say it looks like a pullet.

I vote rooster.

Ancona pullets/hens have large combs and wattles. I see no saddle feathers on that beautiful bird. I'm guessing girl.

I am guessing girl too, altho I know nothing about Anconas. I don't see any saddle feathers either.

Only hen feathered breeds I know are seabrights. Looks like a girl to me, and probably already laying or about to start soon! That floppyish big comb is very girly.
