Chicks born with a comb already

Mine just had a pale wiggle of a line for their combs- all looked the same- but I'm sorry- I can't sex mine just yet! (11 weeks)
Mine are a French type of bantam called Cayenne

Ok great

Its just my other lot, 2 weeks older, dont have any combs but then I just read (araucana) have red triple pea comb so that would be why then.

I'm waiting to see if my cockerels can tell tell difference!!

just hoping they'll not want to 'mount 'any boys???...or don't they care???

-I'm hoping thats going to be they way I can check on their gender before they start to crow!!!!

The 2 I thought were definite boys were born with combs. Although this pic is labelled "Blossom" it's actually Rowan who's the biggest of the lot now and getting a very impressive set of wattles ........................ at 5 weeks!!!

Light Sussex all hatch with combs (if they are male or female), and the one maran I have hatched also had a comb. I have noticed that my Light Sussex cockerals either are lighter in colour or have spots on there heads. Just had one hatched on Monday that has a spot on it's head.

When I looked at your photos I could only see 1 Light Sussex Cockeral, think I may have commented on that at the time.

i was still not completely certain about elvis almost till he went at 16 weeks lol ..... i guess it's easier with same breed chooks but having 6 chooks with different breeding definitely didn't make it easy
