Hi everyone! Revisiting some old posts I made. I dropped off of the chicken scene for a while. The mystery of the white chicks was solved. The chick that I received as an extra "meal maker" where I chose to receive an extra pullet and was encouraged to share eggs with those in need. I was...

Under the right circumstances, I would agree. X}

Thanks for your feedback! They are 7 weeks old now and still no red comb. The one I was concerned about possibly being male has become quite friendly so I'm hopeful nothing changes about the comb color for months!

P.S. Since my tone doesn't come across on the forum, I wasn't saying "If they are pullets" like I was skeptical of your advice. I was just making note of how different they look and that it's interesting that there is such variation in their appearance. I appreciate the advice! I am going to...

Thanks! If they are both pullets it will be a lesson in variation. They just look so different. Hmmmmmm, maybe they are? One is supposed to be a White Rock and the other is a meal maker..... I just assumed they were both White Rocks when I took them out of the shipping box since the looked...

They are at almost 6 weeks and have the same color comb. Feather growth and leg size appear the same it's just the overall shape of their bodies and the size on the one's comb. Here is the more feminine one, it has a smaller comb and a bigger rounder body: The one that had a bigger comb from...

Thanks everyone. I'm familiar with lookin for the comb and waddles to redden when the pullets get close to laying and the squatting. I'll be on the look out for an early change. I'm hopeful this chick is just a big combed gal. It's only 2 weeks old. I know that's it's early to tell but...

Much to my dismay, the comb on this chick seems to continue to grow much faster than the other chick's. I'll keep posting photo updates and am hoping to hear from folks that have experience with this breed. All I need is for you to tell me they get really big combs, really fast, but they are...

[/IMG] Anyone want to reassure me that White Rock pullets just mature quickly. My first time with this breed, these are hatchery chicks, but one has a more prominent comb at two weeks old. Don't wanna worry too much but may also need to start thinking about a backup plan.

This is my first time with this breed. I ordered 1 White Rock with a mix of other calm or friendly breeds but also added a Meyer's Meal Maker. For those that haven't ordered from Meyer's Hatchery, they throw in a chick that you can donate eggs from. So, when I took my chicks out of the shipping...
