    12 week production reds

    No crowing, at least not that I've heard (though I'm gone at work for a large part of the day). At 14 weeks now, they look pretty much the same as they did at 12 weeks. No additional comb or wattle development. They seem a bit... ditzy compared to my EEs, but I'll forgive them for that if they...

    I do like them quite a lot! I would say they're more skittish than my other 3 (EEs), but they're definitely not mean as some people have described PRs. Hoping they will start laying (and not crowing!) around 23 weeks... 2.5 months to go!

    Thanks for the reassurance! Crossing my fingers and hoping you guys are right.

    12 week production reds

    12 weeks old as of today. #1 #2 #3 Based on comb development and color at 12 weeks, I want to say all pullets... but their hackle feathers are suspiciously pointy and shiny, and their faces are quite red. Your help is appreciated!

    So, I was sighing in relief that all my EEs were pullets, then this happened (bird pictured on right) That redness in the shoulders... I should be worried, right? The only thing is, no comb to speak of at 10 weeks: Someone tell me I'm just being paranoid!

    My EE babies... 6.5 weeks old. I think all pullets, but would appreciate some validation. #1 #2 #3

    4 week RIRs (with some bonus 3 week EEs)

    Chickenpalz, I can't really tell either! I'll take another set of pictures this weekend and photograph them individually instead of in a group setting... Chickenman76, I figured it was about two weeks too early... patience is not my strong suit. Can't rush nature though! Thanks for your thoughts.

    Bump... no help, huh? I guess I'll just wait a few more weeks and see how the combs are developing... and think pullet-y thoughts.
