Lol... that was kind of a dumb question, wasn't it?

lol nah theyre pretty high up close to the comb anyway

Definitely! There is still a chick from my TSCr un last week that I am confused about. I'm going to go back to that thread for that one. You've helped me out there too. Thank you!

no problem!

Maybe we can narrow things down on a couple of these chicks since they've grown a little.

The one that looks like a red cochin and one of the speckled chicks have barely grown since the original post, and their wings aretiny in comparison to the others.. I'm sort of wondering if the slow growth rate has anything to do with gender, or could they be different breeds altogether?
Here is a current pic of the cochin. it's tiny with funny little wings that stick out:

Here's the tiny one thought toi be a sebright with the other, more developed sebright in the foreground. They looked pretty identical at first.:

And below is the chipmunk striped baby. I don't see any comb growth at all, but there is some wing development that might hint to breed. What do you think?:

No they’re still red Cochin, silver Sebright, silver duckwing OEGB

Slow growing feathers in my experience have turned out to be boys but others have replied to a thread discussing this issue and they stated that it doesn’t always work out that way

I’m wondering if they might have angel wing which can be caused by too high protein diet, looks like you’re feeding them regular chick feed though, not gamebird feed, right?

Yes, They are only fed 18% chick starter. They have blossomed since I posted this and are looking more like the others. Late bloomers, I suppose.
