Peaches is getting a little suspicious.

[megpie021]

This is Peaches. Our amberlink. She is three weeks old. But "her" comb is looking significantly bigger than all the other chicks. Peaches is our only amberlink so I dont have anyone else to compare to. Thoughts? Also Peaches is not a cooperative model, so this was the best I could do.

Lol mine are never cooperative for pictures. Still looks like a pullet. If it were pink I would definitely think cockerel but for now its not overly suspicious and could go either way. Was she purchased sexed?

 

[megpie021]

She was purchased as a pullet yes. Like I said she just has a lot more going on than the other chicks which are a silver laced wyandotte, buff orpington and an easter egger, not counting my two week old D'uccles.

Wish I could offer more help. I have three Amberlink pullets shipping today so I'll keep up with this thread to see what she turns out to be, in case I have any that seem "suspicious" in a few weeks.

Pullet.

Amberlinks are a production bred bird, so they're going to get a bit larger combs, sooner. As long as she stays fleshy toned, you're good.

she may well lay as early as 18 weeks.

This is good to know. I had the same kind of uncertainty with my Ancona lol.

Thank you guys! And good. She is for the most part pretty relaxed and I like her pretty white feathers. She just wasnt a fan of my phone being near her lol.
