couple of question with pics let me know what you think

[SimplySplendidSilkies]

Ok I bought these chicks on 4/11 all appeared to be the same age/size and a buff one who appeared to be 1 week older. One of the white ones has apparently been on miracle grow and has waddles, very small, but wattle all the same. The larger chick has even out grown the older buff one.
Is that normal any signs I should look out for. Roo?
wattles

size

Now to next concern
this is the buff chick and his/her little comb is red or pinkish/orangish in color. This is the one I thought was older the day I brought the little buggers home.

Not sure if this applies but I am including it!
1) What type of bird , age and weight. silkie 3 and 4 wks old
2) What is the behavior, exactly. normal
3) How long has the bird been exhibiting symptoms? noticed just today
4) Is there any bleeding, injury, broken bones or other sign of trauma. none
5) What happened, if anything that you know of, that may have caused the situation. nothing
6) What has the bird been eating and drinking, if at all. medicated starter, eggs, yougart, and grit
7) How does the poop look? Normal? Bloody? Runny? etc. Normal poop
8) What has been the treatment you have administered so far? you guys hopefully
9 ) What is your intent as far as treatment? For example, do you want to treat completely yourself, or do you need help in stabilizing the bird til you can get to a vet? N/A
10) If you have a picture of the wound or condition, please post it. It may help. inclulded pics
11) Describe the housing/bedding in use

I don't know alot about silkies, so I'm giving you a bump before your thread gets lost on page 2

That big babe is one funky lookin silkie!!!!! With silkies, size does not mean roo AT ALL. I have a rather small one that just turned into a roo. Well he was all along, I just didn't know it. As for the color of the combs they all look great to me. But I am NO expert - just ask gritsar. I mistakenly told someone 12 weeks to be fully feathered. I had integrating confused with fully feathered. How? I am old.

I would think, judging by the wattles on the big one, that it's a cockerel. I can't tell you on the buff, because none of my silkies have had anything but a black comb.

I have read on here it is very hard to tell the sex of silkies but was just curious what you guys thought. I admit I am leaning towards male jossanne but these are my first silkies. I agree deb that is one funky looking chicken. Maybe next week when the others or older I can see if they have wattles that size. Like I said when I brought them home I thought all the white ones were the same age. . They were due to be outside by now but the weather here in TN has not been nice 9 people dead so far from floods. This is the worst case fo flooding since 1974. Needless to say they are still in the house but have had supervised outside play for a week now because the run is not covered yet. I need a trailer to get the cattle panel here. uugghh 25.00 dollar shipping for 5 miles, I don't think so.
Thanks everyone for the input.
