First time chicken owner, first time posting!
We have 6 chicks, mixed breed. This one in particular has larger waddles than the rest, that are red, and the comb is also much larger, and RED. This photo was taken at 4 weeks old. Is there any way this isn't a rooster? Is it true that pullets won't get red combs until they start laying? A few of the others have pinkish/orangish combs, but nothing like this one. (I realize this isn't a great photo for seeing the full body, if I get good response here I can go out and take better photos tomorrow)
Thanks in advance for any replies!
