Update,
I think that my first estimation of the age was wrong.
I have 2 more chick that are now 9 weeks old( ISA brown and white leghorn), and they are way smaller then the first 2 chicks that were suppose to be 10 weeks old.
I now think that the first pics I posted was at 13weeks old, and now they are about 18weeks old.
still no eggs but if they are pullets, they should be at the point of lay. My barred rock now has wattles and they are RED. her comb has become red as well.
I am still worried that my RIR is a cockerel, "She" has some pointy hackle feathers and "she" like to make them stand up when I introduced the new 9 weeks old chicks to them.
Please tell me what you think.
I am very new to chickens.... does this look like pointy hackle feathers ???
