PrecociousA day old cockerel chick we received on April 10 crowed May 29?! His first growth tail feathers were arched almost from the beginning and his comb has been bright red for a week or two. I don't know if this is good or bad but we were surprised and are thinking of favoring his hatch-mate who is developing more slowly. Don't want tiny birds. October 2018 Update Precocious grew well enough and started harassing his hatchmates so much that by 3 1/2 months I had to take him out and put him with the big girls. He adjusted to that within a couple of weeks and has been doing well ever since. His 'brother' grew more slowly and grew bigger and became the dominate bird. His 'sister' began laying rather small green eggs at exactly 5 months of age and lays at a rate of at least 5 out of seven days.
