Hey gang,
I'm a novice at raising chickens, and have been "playing along at home" to try to get better at sexing the photos on BYC.
But I'm consistently stumped by the combs!! Some of the "roos" seem to have such teeny tiny combs at even 12 weeks of age that I'm shocked!
Can someone help me understand the "ins" and "outs" of when Roosters get their big red combs / wattles?
And if not "combs," what are telltale general roo feathering patterns?
Thanks very much!!
