Satin showgirl sexual maturation

[FunkyChickenButt]

Hi all,

Ive heard that silkies and showgirls take a long time to mature and just recently had my pullet Medusa start growing a wattle, which is turning reddish. She’s always acted feminine and stands pretty feminine. She’s about four months old.

I wanted to know if it’s normal for pullets to develop a red wattle at this age? Should I be concerned that she’s a roo? I searched for previous posts about this but couldn’t find anything conclusive.

I just stopped by to say that this thread has a very racy title lol. I scrolled by and was like "uh, what?"

But now I know about a new type of chicken!
