So, I just picked up 8 chicks last Friday. March 4th. They were supposed to be relatively new to the store, maybe a week old tops (given they get there a few days old when they got delivered). My son picked out this Barred Rock (pics below - it's the large one with the white dot on its head). I am wondering a few things.
1) How old do you think it is? Compared to the others, she looks huge.
2) Is it crazy early to have her comb starting? I would guess it was 2 weeks old tops given I picked it up less than a week ago, but maybe this breed runs larger? Grows faster? It's my first of this breed.
3) Lastly, does its comb growing seemingly fast indicate it will be a male? It also seems more, not aggressive, but curious and less skittish than the others, but maybe it's due to being older?
Thanks guys!
