I have a few chickens I'm not sure about. I'm watching feather growth, combs, coloring...but its difficult because most are mixes and I'm new at this.
Chick 1 "Peggy" BR/BO 7-8 weeks
Chick 2 "Buffy" (pure) BO 7-8 weeks
Chick 3 " Pebbles" BCM/Lav Orp (black split) 11-12 weeks
Chick 4 " Chicken Hawk" BCM/EE 11-12 weeks
I have two of the BCM/Lavs and two of the BCM/EEs. The last pics are of "Jagger" the other red one and "Mikan" the other black one.
The two reds have different comb sizes, second one's comb is darker and bigger, has darker legs, it's noticeably bigger and still no tail. The first red one has cheek puffs, the second is getting a beard.. So I'm trying to compare them and its hard because they have the same parents, eggs laid one day apart, hatched same day, same basic color, but they look just different enough I can't tell.
Last pic is reds side by side about 3 weeks ago ago.
