Arizona Chickens

When do male chicks start to develop
Their ctest and wattles?


It can depend on the breed, and the individual chicken. Some, like the golden campine, can start to develop them as early as 2 weeks, and will even start to Crow before the 6-week mark. Other, slower developing breeds may not show definitive signs until they are more toward 6 months old.
 
I'm feeling grumpy this morning because 2 of my 3 "Ameraucana pullets" are Easter Egger cockerels. The 2nd one began to crow this morning an they aren't even 2 months. If the 2nd one is then the 3rd one probably is as well. And 3 of my 4 straight run Marans are boys. I just wanted to add some more color to my flock eggs. I bought 12 straight run of the cheaper birds(BR, RIR, BO and Leghorn) and only wound up with 2 males. But pay more and get mostly boys? Frustrating. I still have no idea what my cochins or SLW are. Afraid my SLW and Cochins might all be male at this point. Not really but, grrr.

Take photo's of your bird's from the side & head shot's.. That way we could see them good enough to be able to tell if they are cockerel's... Right before the tail feather's.. The sickle feathers..
 
Where did you order from? If they offer any guarantee, you can probably call and get your money back.
No guarantees, just a semi-local pet store.
