Hi all - I have two RIR teenagers that are around 15 weeks old. One looks very much like a pulley - light colored, developed tail feathers, no comb or wattles yet - but I have this other one that’s quite a bit darker and a bit bigger, too. The darker one also has developed tail feathers and no comb/wattle development but around her neck I’m seeing some small, pointy greenish-looking feathers that’s got me a bit concerned. They’re both the same shape and seem to have similar development speed.

As I understand it, at this age, it should be pretty obvious from comb/wattles if she’s going to be a he, right?

attaching some pics - opinions greatly appreciated!
