Leghorn Question

[chickenlickin8]

Do 3 week old pullets develop little combs faster than other breeds? I have a white and light brown leghorn pullet from Ideal and both have small combs growing quickly...yellowish in color. I hope they are not BOTH roos!!!!

combs doesnt mean they are roos. i think mine had small yellow combs at 3 weeks, i would be worried if they have red combs though, or red waddles.

my leghorn females have huge combs compared to my other breeds (br, glw, bo, and jg)

I wouldn't worry unless they are turning pinkish red and fatter. the leghorn girls will have flopped over combs...so cute!

Don't worry, Leghorns naturally have big combs.
