Often saddles don't show until 12 weeks. There is no guaranteed age for crowing to start.

BAs typically get combs early. Those wattles are a bit concerning though. Please post updated pics in 2 weeks.

What do you think @3KillerBs?


That's pretty red for 10 weeks. I think I'd be expecting pointyh saddle feathers to show up in the next few weeks.

How long has this bird had that noticeable comb? My boys usually show comb by 3-4 weeks.

I would say around 3 weeks indeed.
