As we’re all carefully inspecting our chick’s combs and wattles at this time of year with anticipation...I’m wondering what age is average for them to start turning more pink for a pullet vs a cockerel? Does it really depend on breed?
My guess is that cockerels start to show themselves with comb growth and pinking wattles around 3-4 weeks and pullets more like 8+weeks? Is that accurate for most or does your experience prove otherwise? Or should pullets wattles only turn pink close to POL?
