From what I have read (and I am just guessing here).. #3 & 4 are girls

#1.. I'm not sure of.. I don't know if that swirl would count as a bullseye or not..

#2 COULD be a boy.. it has what looks to be the closest thing to a bullseye of any of them

 

will you be getting them DNA sexed?

 

can't wait to find out the results if you do since I'm not sure how perfect of a bullseye they are talking about for it to be male

 

I did find these pics which are supposedly sexed correctly as male and female.. and for the male you can really see the bullseye

 

please note these pics ARE NOT MINE

lol.. I'm such a newbie when it comes to this!


after looking at what you think they are.. and taking another look at the pics.. it seems all the boys would have something in common that I don't see on #3.. a solid line across the back of the head.

 

What do you look for other than a well defined bullseye to tell the boys from the girls?

 

 

when my eggs hatch (keeping fingers crossed that they do).. I'll be sure to post pics to get everyone's opinions as well as getting them DNA tested
