Does it act mostly the same as the other pullets? Have you noticed anything particularly different about this one?

Acts the same! Only thing I’d say that’s different is the comb, and he/she’s smaller than our others (we have buff orpingtons, black sex link, and a blue laced Wyandotte)

RIRs are known for being fast developers they tripped me up when I started. This girl may also be coming into lay I see an egg for you in the near future!

That’s what I keep hoping! I check every day for an egg somewhere!

That is so strange! I don’t understand how the comb could possibly be that big on a RIR pullet! Even the pictures I’ve found online show hens with combs about half the size! Weird! Hopefully she should start laying eggs soon…

The day mine turned 16 weeks I was like it’s gonna be here any day now long story short I waited a month before my first egg

I just noticed the saddle feathers on one of our buffs, also 18 weeks. Her comb is the same size as our other ones. Is this one I should keep an eye on too lol

That looks like a pullet to me! A cockerel would have a larger comb and look more masculine at this age

Her comb has also started turning darker red, which means that you should be getting eggs from her very soon as well! Do any of your girls squat when you reach down to pick them up?
