Hi there! I have 5 16 week birds, marked RI red pullets from tractor supply. One has started laying, I know who she is:
Weirdly, no tail feathers but fluffernutter is a girl.
By contrast, the other 4 all look a bit different in coloring and maturation. Different sized combs and waddles, lighter feathers. Here are some pics of butterscotch(most pronounced comb/waddle out of all of them) as an example:
I know one of my silkies is a cockerel, and he seems to be smitten with all 5 of these birds. Since it’s my first time having chicks I don’t know if it’s a submission thing or a sexual one. Any ideas on breed for either and gender on butterscotch? Thanks!!
