6.5 week old Japanese bantam

[goodwiab]

Hi all!

I recently had five Japanese bantams, two of which were definitely roosters (larger bright red combs and crowing), and have gone on to find new homes and are doing well. However, I am now worried that one of my girls is turning rooster on me (or perhaps always was). Her comb is getting bigger/redder and so are her wattles. Still not as red as the two boys that I had, but still. Thoughts? She's 6.5 weeks. The first two pictures are of her today; the last picture is her 2 days ago. Thank you!

Thank you! Anyone else? It's just so weird because she was the same age as my other cockerels and didn't develop this until this week. The others had bright red combs from the get-go.

Sometimes when you have more than 1 cockerel you will end up having late bloomers.
