Both roos

Well, the kittens aren't so cute anymore and the easter egger cockerels are in the freezer. Plus, I think offering them as "prizes" scared folks off! So, I'm still posting quotes, if you know it let me know. I'm very enamored of this new one, it may hang around for a while!

Both are cockerels.

Breeding Welsummers and Barnevelders.

 

Having an Icelandic in the coop is like having a 2 year old in the house - they are into everything and don't follow the rules.

I have zero chicken willpower.

Ive heard of sexing chicks by looking at the wing feathers the first couple of days after they hatch. Has anyone ever done this or had good luck with this method? Ive also heard you cant use that method on Bantams.

I think for that to work the chicks have to be bred for it. Something about one parent havin the slow featherin gene and one havin the fast featherin gene. Its worth a try tho. I just wouldnt rely on it 100%.
