Depends on the breed.At what age do cockerels wattles start to develop?
Plymouth Rock and Sussex.Depends on the breed.
Depends on the specific bird then. I have had some get wattle growth at about 2 month old and some get them a little later and some earlier. I asked about breeds because a lot of EEs do not get wattles as all.Plymouth Rock and Sussex.
Thanks!
Okay! Because a few of my Sussex's have reddish wattle lines growing, they are 2 weeks old. But I'll get some photos.Depends on the specific bird then.

Post pictures for gender identification. Thats the best way.
I grab some photos. My chicks are 2 weeks old.If you're trying to sex chicks, the boys wattles may start to grow as early as 5 weeks. If you're seeing tiny wattles starting to peek out then, that's a big plus towards being a boy. The girls are usually still flat for a while.
Yeah, keep an eye on that one. Do you have a few if the same breed? It's best to compare them to each other at this age. You'll notice some may be developing faster in some areas.
Thats too young to say for sure. Update when they are older!I grab some photos. My chicks are 2 weeks old.
