congratssss

Have a total of 10 chicks now!  Here's hoping for one more chick before the day is over!  I'd love to get 11 chicks from 13 eggs!  That would be an awesome hatch rate!  Congratulations on all the new babies everyone!

you can try wing tip if you dont know vent sex

 

a female has 1 slow feather nad 1 fast feather gene which makes her wing tip needle feathers long and short

 

a male has 2 slow feather genes so his neadle feathers will be all of 1 length
