I was wondering at what age you can see the comb start to develop on a chick ?
When do chicks get combs ?

I have chicks that hatched with larger combs than the others.
Mine were showing a vestigial comb by the end of the first week. The pullets are feathering out first, the cockerels have the larger combs.
