I hatched 4 chicks in my homemade bator in early July. I moved them outside when they were just a week old (turned their heat light on at night). Today I fenced off a portion of my coop/run and put them out with the rest of the flock. I put a small dog house out with them to use as a coop at night. Out of my 3 chicks I'm pretty sure 3 are hens and one is a rooster. The one has a comb over twice as big as the rest and the skin under his beak is growing as well. The others are not. His tail is also growing straight up where the others are smaller and not growing upright. I'd post pics but I can't find my camera. BUT does this sound right??? He's a dominique x BO. Any other factors I should look for other than crowing in a month or so?
