I have 5 new hampshire red chicks, about 4 weeks old now. Now that they are pretty well feathered 3 are dark red and 2 are very light, tanish almost. They are supposed to be all females since they came from a hatchery. Do their colors vary in the females? Also have 6 Jersey giants about 5 weeks old one is not feathering very fast at all on the upper part of its wings or tail. The other 5 are fully feathered. These chicks were given to me locally (not from a hatchery) and I dont know their sexes yet. Could it be a cockerel, I hear they sometimes feather slower? Or maybe its just a slower developing little girl.. any ideas??
