14 week old white leghorn hen?? Roos that hatched at the same time had bigger combs and wattles at 4 weeks.
Legbar and maran roos in pic are the same age
I have one chick who is clearly a roo with big red wattles a floppy red comb (second pic) but then another one who I'm not sure about who has a pink comb and no wattles(first pic)
Does any one know a bit more about the breed who could help me thanks

The membrane is intact and the egg is fertile.
I have put wax around the cracks to stop air getting in and drying it up but will it still be ok
Last week I bought 3 maran lol pullets
They have all lost condition but one in particular has lost significantly more than the others.
None of them are eating very much
Should I be worried and is there anything I can do to help
Would a chick still be sex link ( white dot on the head of roos) if I crossed a cuckoo maran hen with a silver spangled apenzeller rooster ( I have 2 I don't know what to do with, they're too pretty to kill)
Thanks
My 5.5 month old aracuna
I have previously only had orpingtons which are completely different to an aracuna. I am thinking this is a hen but I'm not completely sure
If it is a roo it will have to go

What do you think
Chicks 1-6orpington
Chick 7 maran
Chick 8 aracuna
Chick 9 apenzeller
Chicks 10-12 pekin
Chick 13 aracuna
