Secondary wing feathers are the ones closest to the body. Primary wing feathers are like the finger tips of the bird. Hens' secondary feathers will keep together leaving a bit of a gap in between the secondary and primary wing feathers. Roosters' secondary wing feathers spread out, there will be no gap between secondary and primary wing feathers.
According to this method of sexing, my last hatch should have been 7 pullets and 3 cockerels. The opposite is, in fact, true. 7 cockerels, 3 pullets. Not accurate in the least bit.
Works for me 100%.
1, 2, and 4 are definitely male. 3, 5, and 6 look like pullets for now, could change in a week or two though.Hello can anyone help tell the sex of my chicks they are 6 weeks old
