When do combs turn pink/red? Dominique

[mojomaniac]

I have two 4 week old dominiques. They were sold to me as female, and all the signs have pointed to them being female (shadowing on legs and feet, getting feathers quickly, uniform spot on head). I have noticed that one of them has a comb that is slightly bigger and getting more red than her sister’s. She is the biggest of my chicks and the most aggressive. Is this normal?

(The chick in question is in the top two pictures)

Can you get fullbody pics? Another way to tell is how light/dark the barring is. I don't think wing feather growth works for this breed, only certain crosses.

I just added it! She is the one on the left in the picture.

The barring looks female. The comb is suspicious... I'd give it a little more time.
