Hi there,
My chicks are six weeks old and finally out of my house! They're feathering out and starting to look like real chickens instead of half-baked muppets.
Some of them are starting to develop combs and wattles, and I'm a bit concerned about my SLWs in particular - is it normal for their combs to come in red this early, or do I have 3 surprise roosters on my hands? The attached pictures are three different birds, all named Bubba. I numbered them to help tell them apart.
We also have one Black Australorp who has a bigger comb than our other two 'lorps and wattles under its beak. We did order one rooster of this breed, so I'm hoping this is Gomez, the one roo we wanted.
Thank you so much for answering all my questions! This is my first time with chicks, and I appreciate your advice & support.
