Here's my Sumatra cockerel for you to compare. His comb is slow to grow. He's just starting to grow his tail, & saddle feathers. This is him at 8 weeks, he's now 9 weeks old.

She's wonderful. I'll be getting a couple pullets soon as replacements because they died shortly after delivery. So I'll have a breeding trio.

They average around 100 eggs a year...they are an ornamental breed lol
That's really not that bad really. We get about 18 eggs average from our birds a day.
I just love Sumatras, my first time owning the breed.
