SillyClucker Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 We have had our chooks for about 4 weeks now. we were told that they were about 16 weeks old. We have 2 peppers and 1 ginger. Now the ginger is far bigger than the peppers and also is gettting a nice comb. The peppers on the other hand have stayed relatively the same size as when they arrived. Their combs have also not developed. I think the peppers are slightly younger than the ginger but i would have thought that they would have developed more by now??? Has anyone else found this?

The Dogmother Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 They are just like humans in that some chooks develop earlier than others. You may find that they are only a week or two behind, but they will suddenly start to develop quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Although my Pepperpot was larger than the , her comb seemed to take forever to develop, and I waited 11 weeks for eggs! So, yours may be a bit younger too, and it's early days yet. Once the comb did develop, the change was very noticeable, but it was small & pale for weeks first. Just be sure that they are eating their pellets/mash well, but if so, I'm sure there's nothing to worry about, & the next few weeks should be interesting.
