Hello! I have a wonderful four week old BR who has become the lead hen of our little flock. She’s definitely fiesty and tries to keep the chicks in line but she’s also incredibly sweet to us humans.
As she’s growing, I am noticing that her comb is a bit pronounced and pink already as compared to her other flock mates. She’s my only BR so it could just be that their combs develop differently than my other breeds (Orpington and olive egger) but the color is hard to deny. Any thoughts at this age? I know I’ll need to wait a few more weeks to know for sure but I’d love to learn what other traits to look for with figuring out the gender to this breed. Thank you!
