Is early comb development normal?

[mannamedL]

So i received a few mutt eggs from a friend a while back, incubated them and now they're 3-4 weeks old, but one of them has a comb and wattles that are too developed? it looks kinda funny and i was wondering if it was normal? any feedback would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Looks to me like you've got a little Roo!

i am raising chicks that are around three weeks old now too, and they also have combs on their heads and it is completely normal.

Mine are 4 weeks and I am pretty sure they are all hens. They only have a very small yellow comb, nothing like yours has. I'd have to second the roo.

ah, thanks for the replies, i was just wondering if it was normal since all the others don't have anything close to what this guy has, but if it's normal, then that's awesome, but he still looks funky to me

He does look funky, but its cute!

That is too cute! Sort of like when a little kid puts on dad's hat or something. A couple of mine have *tiny* combs, but they have no color to them yet. They are 5 weeks tomorrow.

Wow. I wish all my roos combs were that obvious that young. Mine are only about 2 weeks old but im havin a tough time figurein out which of mine are roos or hens. Hes a cute little thing tho. He does remind me of a kid tryin on dads clothes or paintin on mustaches lol

Wow, if they are only 3 weeks, then he's definitely a roo!



Here's my little roo at 3 1/2 weeks.
