I have 3 RI Reds. They all hatched in May 2010. Recently I noticed one of them has a larger comb and waddle than the others. I have never heard it crow. Today however, I was installing a new ladder type perch in their run when it started making loud noises. Not necessarily a crow, but definitely much louder than anything I've heard from the reds or my 3 plymouth rocks.
The tail feathers do not appear to be different. Would their tail feathers be different at this age - 7 months. None of the 6 chickens that were hatched in May have laid eggs yet. What age do roosters start to crow?
Can you tell by looking at their feet? Are there any other distinctions with their feathers, ie rounded at the ends v pointed?
Thanks
