Plymouth Rock Pro Advice needed

[WeFoChooks]

Hi there.
I hatched 6 chicks from a pure bred Plymouth rooster and supposedly the same with the hens.
Of the six, I got 3 hens and 3 roos.
2 of the boys and oneokf the girls look "normal" as per my untrained eye.
One of the boys and two of the girls have a funny look about the head, kind of pale and their feathers are more spiky. I don't know if it's just a different stage of development, if something wrong with them, or whether it's just different genes/ appearance and they'll be fine. Planning to keep only one of the roosters and was hoping to keep that one as he seems nicer in temperament.
Any feedback appreciated.

How old are they?

How old are they?

Can't quite remember. 6 months I'd say. Shouldn't they have a red face like the others?

No two birds develop at exactly the same pace. The red faced ones are just a little faster developing. And those will start mating or laying before their siblings. The "spikey" feathering also is due to being a little slower developing, the feathers are just growing slower.

Nice thanks heaps for that. I hoped that was the case but wondered if anything else was going on. In that case I'll keep the roo in the first picture. Thanks again

Glad to help. Awesome looking birds!

agree with Gray Farms - beautiful birds

I don't see anything wrong with them. They just look like they're behind their siblings developmentally is all. @speckledhen raised some lovely Barred Rocks. She might be able to contribute a little more.
