Hi there,
New to chickens - we have 7 chicks that are 4.5 weeks old or so. 3 are SLW, 3 araucanas, and 1 buff orpington.
Of the SLWs i am suspecting that 1 is a rooster? I am ok with it...just more curious than anything but here are the "symptoms"
Comb was weirder looking compared to the other 2 SLW - biggger, redder
"she" is the only one to already have a waddle at 4 weeks
wings have more solid bands of white compared to white streaks of the others
tail was coming in much slower than the others (ironic, as name is Lady Feather bottom)
legs and feet do seem slightly bigger than the others
Not sure how much of this i am just noticing more now that i am aware of it but please see pics below!
