at what age do the combs start turning pink or red?

[EggSighted4Life]

Thank you. I looked today and in person the comb isn't pink. My daughter had taken these. I'm learning patience as my mentor in LA has been drilling me!

That's good news!

I do agree with others that the dark stripes still make the bird appear to be black with white stripes (female), where as the males look white with black stripes. One of my girls had the big white spot on her head and and enough white barring to make me question for quite a while. In the end she was female.

Funny how a picture might be worth a thousand words doesn't mean it's telling truth! like how the comb looked pink but not in person.

They all look like girls to me.

I will post some pics in a few weeks so we can compare - these girls are playing with our minds!

Any thoughts on these two Plymouth Rocks? They were 6 days old in those pictures.. I can take more tonight (10 days old today). I've had someone in another thread say the one with green leg bands looks to be female and leaning towards female for blue.

Too early.

Definitely looking like 1 male Barred Rock.

The other appears female so far.

ETA: some of my girls do start to look pinkish around around 8-9 weeks. Not changing my opinion about your 1 BR though.

I agree. I think 1 is a roo also.

I agree. I think 1 is a roo also.

Very glad you joined us!!! However, this post is actually from 6 years ago so I doubt they even still have these birds anymore. However, there are plenty of newer threads that could use your help
