Ok...not quite as scarey as it was in the Wizard of Oz movie with "lions, tigers n bears oh My!"
But...equally important LOLOL!
Newby here and trying to learn as much as I can...and there just isn't a lot online about this type thing.
At what age do they normally form the combs n wattles? Does it vary based on type chicken? Obviously my breed (is that the right term) being silkie and polish have the crest already going on.
But the combs and wattles...about when do those start coming in in them?
I have 1 Polish and 3 silkies...pics attached
All are 6 weeks old now. I'm amazed at how Polish has evened out on his crest - so I'm guessing he may be a she LOL.
Vanilli's crest has really blossomed this past week...and Milli and Mango have stayed about the same with their crest.
