Hen maturity

[mainely-chick]

Do some hens mature faster than others? Same age,(18 weeks) same breed(White Rock). One has a larger, redder comb and wattle than the others but does not show any other traits of a Roo. Size, crowing etc. Have two other Roos of different breeds that are definately Roos.

Some hens will mature faster faster than others. Also some hens won't get a big comb and wattles. I wouldn't worry.
