I bought my chicks from Tractor Supply as Straight run, I had 3 that feathered out real fast and long and others took much longer and looked like their wings were short and even.. So I thought I had at least 3 pullets and then 3 cockerels by this.. now at 4 weeks the feathered out ones are the biggest and their combs are redder and larger.. I am confused on these.. Any help from someone who has raised these....Thanks
 
The ones that feathered first have the reddest and biggest combs.. and are the tallest...cant tell sex..
 
soon enough you will know what sex they are the male will get larger combs ... but i am wondering if maybe you have two different breeds, i once picked out some chicks at the local farm store and 1 wasnt the one i picked out so its possible .
 
I guess I will wait it out and see.. They are different looking to me in color anyway and feathering.. They looked all the same when i bought them. Thanks to all !
