Green Queen a Cockerel or Pullet?

[Blossom Homestead]

Hello! I have a 10 week old green queen that is much larger than my other 3 green queen pullets. Her legs are bigger, her comb is darker and pronounced. She is also the “head hen” and is a little aggressive if you try to reach for her. Could she be a cockerel?

Definitely a cockerel.

Definitely a cockerel.

Thank you for your reply! I bought them from Meyer Hatchery so I assumed the chances of getting a male were slim to none! My gut is telling me she’s a he, but my neighbor who has owned chickens forever is saying she’s a hen because she isn’t crowing yet.

Sexing is about 90% accurate, so there's still always a chance you'll get the opposite gender then what you ordered.

Crowing is not an accurate way to sex, because pullets sometimes will crow, it's not common though. In most cases cockerels do not crow until they're quite a bit older than that, although it does vary.
I guarantee you it's a cockerel with that comb.

Thank you! One more question if I may… was it strictly his appearance or his personality description and appearance. Because I have a couple more ( I ordered 15 total ) who don’t have red combs and aren’t quite as big but they act almost as aggressive.

Age, comb growth, and feather patterns are usually physical signs one looks at when determining sex of a bird.

Appearance, personality isn't a great way to Guage gender though what people see as "friendly" chicks tend to be cockerels.
There's the big red comb for the age, the long and skinny hackle and saddle feathers that are male specific and male specific red feathers on the wing.

I knew it was a cockerel by appearance, he's got a big comb.
Feel free to post pictures of your other chicks so we can sex them as well.

Thank you! Here is a photo of our 9 week old Mottled Ancona. I have 3 of them, 2 have pale smaller combs and this ones comb is bigger and darker. What do you think?
