We hatched three brown leghorns. From the first week the only difference that we could see was that one had a pronounced stripe on it's head and the other two only had the chipmunk stripes on their back.
As they grew, at about six weeks old, the two without the stripe on it's head grew pronounced combs and waddles.
In addition, now at 9 weeks the one without the comb we've noticed has brown feathers on her chest.
HOWEVER, no one has crowed. Nor really act like roosters. Is there ANY chance they're all hens, but the third one has slower development??
Thanks so much!!
