Hi all,
I have been raising my first chickens for the past 6 weeks and love them, however... It appears they are both developing wattles and combs. Can anyone confirm I have two little roosters in my coop? Or do I need to wait for more definitive developments?
Here is a picture of the two of them. Both have similar wattle and comb growth, red colouring is identical.
Chick one (seated) - developed tail feathers first, feathers on the edge of the wings are longer than other wing feathers, very slightly raised feathers on back of the neck. Quite shy and reserved.
Chick two (standing) - smaller tail feathers, wing feathers even lengths. Very bold and inquisitive.
I will keep trying to get better photos of the little ones - they just don't stay still long enough!
Any guidance regarding their sex would be great - thanks!
