14 1/2 week old welsummer pullets comb and wattle development difference

[alsykes2000]

I have 2 welsummer pullets (both 14 1/2 weeks old), one has a much brighter and larger comb and wattle than the other. She is also the loudest constantly bawking and bossing the flock around. Her size is the same as the rest of the flock. She’s not a sneaky roo, is she?

100% a pullet!

She might be an early layer.

Not a roo, they are darker by this age. My Welsummer is loud as hell, especially when she lays an egg. I’m apologizing to the neighbors all the time. She lays beautiful eggs though

Her bawk sounds like she’s trying to crow….both welsummer girls are talkative.

They're quite known for that.
