my 2 1/2 week buff orpington is getting pink in the comb!

[sheeshshe]

is this normal or is this a roo-to-be? I noticed that there seems to be some pink too where the waddles are...

she's a bit sick so I don't know... is this her/him developing or is this a virus? LOL

Oh this is my favorite chick, please don't let her be a he!!!!

I took some pictures but I need to upload and see if the pink shows...

thoughts?

Uh-oh. Not a good sign. Possible roo-alert. Beep-beep-beep.

I guess I have a warped sense of humor. I ordered 15 and got at least 10 roos so far. Maybe more. There are two or three that I am not sure of. I know what it feels like to get the short end of the stick. Somewhere out there is my counter-part who is celebrating their good fortune on have 10 pullets and only a couple of roos.

Oh well. Such is life.

yeah... Sniff.

I don't know what I'll do. I really like the chick. s/he's so sweet and loving. big baby.

do you think its too late to get another buff? they'd trample it Im sure since they are much larger now... sigh.......... I can't believe it. 2 weeks old!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Im sorta mad too. but I love this chickie!

If he has waddles coming in I would think roo. I could tell by around 2 weeks that one of mine was a roo, Do you have more BO chicks to compare? Ours looked pink one day and red the next. He is now six weeks and already crows!

I have one more BO and that one isn't pink on the comb but is pink in the wattles as well.

The one that is pink

The other one who isn't pink on the comb

and see how sweet and gentle and loving the "roo" one is?
