Boys or girls at 9 weeks
« on: October 31, 2008, 12:30 »
I have just been given five nine week old Marran bantans to keep my two 6 week old perkins company.  I have tried putting two of the marrans together, my perkins, but the older ones just bully them.

I have a feeling the 5 marrans are all male as they have little tiny lumps growing where I would expect spurs to be and they have all got very noticable combs.  Does anybody know how to sex them at 9 weeks old, if they are boys I will not want to keep them and will have to find them new homes?

The fact that they were free suggests that they are males :(
I demand the right to buy seed of varieties that are not "distinct, uniform and stable".

We might be able to get a better idea then :?

i have got both boy and girl marans (albeit they may be crosses) and the males combs are def prominent, where as the girls are only just starting to develop from little more than bumps....they are about the same age....
