I got 15 "sexed pullets" recently and all but 5 had read leakage on the wings slowly 10 roosters started mating and cock a doodle doing slowly they are making it to the pot. 10 roosters 5 pullets.... Red leakage=male trait... Sorry, at least it's not 10 out of 15 like mine!

Is it an EE? It appears to have some red leakage on its wings which I am learning with my own birds is a trail of a male.

Here's 2 others of that first chick

Any other barred rock experts care to chime in?

Thanks for your input :)

Got 3 Barred Rocks that were hatched May 24th so just over 6weeks old. They are my first barred rocks so I'm trying to figure out sexing, they were sold as week old pullets but one has grown VERY fast but is darker but has thicker legs... One is very light but the smallest of the 3. Anyways...

I think last time I actually waited 2 weeks... Read up on the feed label and see what if it has any recommendations

When medicating my chickens I don't eat the eggs for 10 days after stopping the medication

If it has a built in gauge I believe it could still have either a wet or dry bulb. If it was a wet bulb I understand that there should we a "wick" that gets wet.... I bought a cheap incubator off eBay that has a dry bulb (it is mounted on the lid of the incubator) I also bought a separate...

What they mean by all the feathers are in is that it doesn't have baby chick down feathers anymore, that full feathers have replaced the down

The combs on both our birds are very similar and mine was pale pink until this week! I can see a difference in yours tail feathers tho, mine has not started to come in as much and "he" is 14-15 weeks, no crowing or anything either... And I had never heard of the red leakage so that's what drew...

I had a pullet look very similar to yours with curled tail feathers around the same age and slowly she lost the curled feathers! Hope yours is the same way!

Thank junebuggena! Not a good accuracy rate of sexing for this hatchery! Looks like my freezer is going to be full :'( Not what I was expecting when I spent that money I was looking for more eggs not meat

That would make 8 handsome cockerels out of 15 "sexed pullets" from a hatchery!

Supposed to be 14 week old ameraucanas, but I know they are EE's! Anyways what do you think? #1 #2

I'm not sure how to copy someone's previous post but I've got a question for @teach1rusl In your first comment you mentioned that you have found that cockerels normally have red leakage on their wings? Just wondering what you mean by that... Ive had a bird that I've believed to be a pullet...

This has been my first season with broody mamas! Had no idea I had a broody hen in April and on a whim left 12 eggs in a nesting box and within an hr a hen was on them and didn't wanna leave! She was a good broody until the eggs started to hatch and then I think she got confused as to what was...

I had a silkie rooster and he was very sweet until one day he turned on an a large EE rooster that he had been raised with from day one. They had to be separated to protect the EE and after that I wasn't able to go into the coop without being challenged by the silkie
