Really need some help please
« on: April 13, 2012, 19:43 »
My chicks are around 6 weeks old now, and I'm wondering if you lovely people will help me sex them please  :) I appreciate they are not the best quality pics, but the little devils never stay still.
Thanks all  :)

You cant really tell by the pictures, try a piece of card under the neck feathers if they look pointed it's a cockerel and if they look rounded hen (so they say) worth a try it's supposed to work, Mike

Our 33 chicks are 4 1/2 weeks old now and we can tell which one is the rooster. All of a sudden his little red comb is 3 times the size of the hens! I loved your pictures, very pretty chcikens and to me they look like they are hens. But I am new at chcikens, lol.

Light Sussex are notoriously difficult to sex and often you won't know until one crows. I have hatched Light Sussex and I got a 'feeling' about mine and it turns out I was right but I couldn't say why ::)
Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted!!
