Thanks! I know it's early, but I was shocked by their little combs popping up all the sudden like they did. We can't have Roos, so we're trying to stay on top of it.

Yes, it's so hard to tell some especially at a young age. I see young children in your photos..I hope they're not heart broken if some are roos that you can't keep

I wish you all the best with your flock! Keep us updated

The side view doesn't look as red...maybe just the angle or light?

Thank you so much! Yes, they'll be devastated, especially with the Easter eggers. They're their favorites. My reds are so friendly and sweet that I'm in denial on the last one with the red comb...

It's definitely bigger and redder than her sister's... At what point do the girls get red combs? My mom's Rhode Island Red hens have red combs, but are full grown.

Hens typically get red, redder, combs at point of lay

I just got this little one today and it is 5 months old and I am hoping that it is a hen but just to be sure

This is Twitchy, our Polish mix bantam. 7-8 weeks old. I'm thinking it's a boy, but the strange comb (and my lack of experience w/Polish or bantams) is throwing me off.

I apologize for the poor quality picture, but it's the first time in 4 weeks I've been able to get a hold of the chick. I had to to catch several of them after a jailbreak this afternoon.

Could you get a full body picture?
