I believe I have 2-15 week old Silkie cockrels... Moe has a good size walnut shaped comb about the size of a mans thumb nail and little wattles hanging and he really crows... Innie on the other hand has a comb about the size of my babyfinger nail but no wattles as yet and his crow is quite weak more a squeek-a-do:/...they hatched the same day so why is one less developed than the other...is this normal?!?

Hi Pam,

It's totally normal, just like human boys... they all go through puberty at a different rate!

Hey Pam, my chickens will be 20 weeks old on Wednesday. My one roo has a huge comb and wattles. He also crows alot. He is my alpha rooster. My other rooster, same breed, same hatch date, has a much smaller comb and wattles. He rarely crows, unless he's in the mood for a crowing contest with my alpha roo.
I agree with Anne. Chickens are as individual as children.
