White Leghorn Gender?

[Meghan B]

Thoughts on gender for this white leghorn? I’m beginning to think rooster. They are 3-4 months old.

Female

Male for sure, too big of comb for that age.

It’s 3-4 months old AND it’s a WL.

Are you sure of the age? It looks a bit younger than the age range listed.

I’m not certain. Could be closer to 2-3 months?

If it’s 2-3 months, than it is most likely a cockerel. Updated pictures in a few weeks would help confirm or deny.

Welcome to BYC!

Age makes all the difference in this breed. Female leghorns have huge combs.

Male and female leghorn have very large combs it's one of the breed traits. Looks female to me.

I'm pretty sure it's female.
