Hi I recently hatched 3 gold laced orpington bantams via my broody Peking hen they are now coming up to 7 weeks and I'm worried all 3 maybe Roos they have combs but not so red jus slightly pink and the feathering still appears somewhat patchy I have a few pics not very clear tho... Would be nice to see what your thoughts are.... How do u upload pics on here?

Ok They arent brilliant but one has a more pink comb than the other two abd the darkest color is the largest in size yet has the smaller comb?

Hi yeah thank you for that. I think your right saw the two suspected Roos trying to spar with each other, the one I'm thinking is a pullet has more feathers but also has a noticeable comb not as pink as the other two but is also the larger bird out of the three and they all hatched together....
