We've got two BR (supposed to be pullets)... three weeks old tomorrow and both are feathering out nicely- same pace. However the last day or so I've noticed that chick A is feathering in with more white than chick B. Chick A comb is still nice and yellow and the tiniest light pink wattles. Chick B has less white, mostly black feathers but it's comb is definitely a bit larger and more pink, as well as a bit larger wattles that are a darker pink.

I was under the impression that the roos will feather out with more white bars than pullets, but the one whose feathering like a pullet is showing comb/wattle development sooner... any advice based on these factors?! They're pretty well the same size, both have dark gray/black on feet and up legs...
 
Mine are hatchery birds, that's obvious by looking at these photos you posted... the feathering on my two are exactly like the bottom ones- one has more white than the other- does that mean roo? I will wait another couple weeks...
