Comb Already?

[tmcdonald226]

I have 12- 3 week old chicks, and one of my leghorns is way bigger than the others and already has a big comb. They are all supposed to be pullets. Do some mature faster than others?

Is the comb different in color?

If they’re 3 weeks old and already has a comb chances are it’s a boy.

One of my chicks developed a RED comb by the time he was under 2 weeks. He is half leghorn

No it's red

Leghorns get big combs but if it's big and red at 3 weeks, no doubt it's a cockerel.

Well I say red but now it looks pink, she is taller than the rest

I know it's hard to tell but compared to the other leghorn...she's huge

it’s red compared to the other one in the picture. It’s a boy. I also think I see waddles coming it, so it’s without a doubt a boy.
