Sexing 3 week old Welsummers and Leghorns
« on: August 31, 2013, 19:41 »
Hi

We currently have a hatch of 10 chicks and Im pretty sure I can already identify 3 boys, I wonder if some of you couldconfirm my suspicions?



In this first photo I think theres one boy and ine girl exchequer leghorn?



Surley its bad news if youve got a comb like this after just three weeks!





Finally I think this is a boy at the front and a girl at the back

Thanks in advance
Michael

That look's to be a fair assumption ! Personally I run cockerels on until Pot sized then cull  :)
I cook therefore I grow
