Put the little one on a table, shoot straight on sideways, close, sharp and well lit. (Near a window, but not in direct sunlight.) I would like to make sure the tail is in there and wings.

Looking a little young to tell for sure, but #1 looks to have a cockerel- like comb. (The cockrels here usually have this look when little, exc.)pt in lines that did not select for early maturing males.) #2 & #3 have the look of a pullet to me. Again, they are still pretty young and the...

No problem! Luck... exactly. Make sure you disclose to the new owner and be clear that they should not be bred in a BCM breeding program. Might be fine for olive eggers though. Your pullets will start showing hackle soon to a few months old. Some girls may be overmelanized- where they do not...

Hi JillZ, If you are seeing copper breakthrough on the wing by day 5, this isn't a sign of what sex (that is a coincidence, or you are seeing other signs)...this is a sign that the bird is likely split with Wheaten or has Autosomal red breakthrough- all chicks should always have black/ white...

I agree that these two have smaller combs right now, so cute! The strongly laced coloring on chest feathers makes me keep going back and forth- can these three be excessively mossy females? Just seems early to see so much color. However, at this time I'm still SLIGHTLY leaning toward males...

Okay, the cute little cockerel for sure on left. You can see the beginnings of little shiny saddle feathers on lower spine. I'm going to need a better side photo of the others to tell for sure what they are. Do any of the others have these lower spine feathers like this or are the feathers...

The other photo didn't come through, but this is definitely a very cute little cockerel. I like his comb already, and he has a nice, wide head, and good width to neck- not a long thin crow head- very good signs. A wide head is often the sign of a nice, wide-bodied roo. Very desirable so far...

Unfortunately, usually, when you are seeing color very early (1 month is considered fairly early) tons of copper on the chest is usually indicative of a male juvie that will end up with too much color. The females do not get copper on the chest at all... Except for Mossy girls, and those often...

BCM eggs color can range all over the place. They just need to measure a #4 on the Marans egg scale at some time during their laying cycle. This is a BCM egg, at her lightest time of her laying cycle. Her eggs are XL, and are usually darker than this one (around #5-6). This egg came from a...
