Are you sure they are 'maturing faster', or are just bigger breeds? Your roadrunners are a fairly svelte/smaller breed. They definitely look smaller when compared to Maggie...and as a RIR, is somewhat in the middle of the pack as a dual purpose breed (compared to say, an Australorp)

Well certain, definitely not. But Lulu is the same breed as the Roadrunners, just a different color and she seems like the biggest chick right now.

They just want to be around me, no food involved at all here. Just happy friendly and in Ezzie's case jealous when I'm not petting her chicks.

She is gorgeous!

She is a favorite, but not the only one I have. But then I get asked a question the other day from Rosie. She asked "if something were to happen and you could only save 1 chicken which one would it be?" How dare you ask me such a question, I would even try to save the devil momma hen. Branch and Ezzie would be in that first armful though.

I just went out and got a few photo's of the mystery chicks. I still question what they are along with their genders. There really is only 1 that for a while I have felt was a female and that is the one with the lighter head. That being said, no crowing, no rooster posturing or even any roo behavior vibes. I do see some wattles forming, but they are still to me seem to be tiny. Again, I'm basing all this off or Marans and Marans crosses who grow huge combs and wattles very quickly. And for the record, I'm sticking to my go to breed choice in the future, they for the most part do not fool me like these guys. Well, besides silkies, I can not promise not to hatch or acquire more little fuzz balls.
Here we are at exactly 9 weeks old, what does everyone think?
