CHICK'S COMB SMALL AND YELLOW

[karinna]

Hello everyone, I have 11 Laying hens, all currently laying, I purchased 2 babies to put under a broody hen, the hen rejected them and now I am raising the babies, one of the chicks comb is small and yellow, the other one is red and normal, anyone have any ideas about what could be wrong?
I was thinking of putting Nutritional Yeast in the water to see if that may work, any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You

How old are the chicks now?
Can you post a picture of each chick?

It could be you have a normal female chick (yellow comb) and a young male chick (red comb).

Normal lighting is best not under a brooder light.

Could be that you have a pullet and a cockerel...... but to be sure of the cause, we definitely need pics.

Perfectly normal. The first one is a pullet (female) and the second is a cockerel (male)
