How old? Could you get a better picture of it standing? Does it have red or white earlobes?

Pretty sure earlobes are white. It's about 6 maybe 7 weeks old. Hard to get photos as its not mine.

If it has white earlobes then I would say it was a Leghorn, if not my guess would be a white Plymouth Rock. 6 to 7 weeks old, that is kinda young for a comb like that, but I'll need better pictures to be sure of the gender.

My leghorn had a big comb too, and really gave me a run for my money. She is most DEFINITELY a she though, and the first one to start laying big beautiful white eggs, sometimes double or triple yolkers too!

13wks


14wks


16wks, a week later she started laying


hope these pics help you with determining gender.

I haven't had a cockerel, but from pics I've seen online their feathers look finer and more pointed as young ones before their saddle feathers really come in.

here is a 9wk old pic of her. I'm trying to find a 7wk, but I had to restore my computer so they're spread out in different places:

Quote: Thanks! She's actually the "head" pullet She is an awesome girl for sure too!

@Four are you sure that it is 6-7 weeks old? That's an awful lot of feathers and a big size for that age.

The rest of the pics are all mixed up since I uploaded to online to protect and don't give me original dates :/ So, I can only guess ages before then for the other pics after they gained all feathers, which isn't helpful (ugh).
