Chicken Breed Focus - Polish

Lol.. totally understand..I spent all day building tractors in the rain. Closest thing I have to a beach is a muddy creek bank..ducks loved it tho.. have several WCB bantams due to hatch in a couple days.. sadly I have my fingers crossed for a good rooste..lol..I only need one tho, so rest of the chicks can be girls..
I'm finally down to about 40 chicks from 300 that I've kept to grow out for a while.. and only 3 bators full to still hatch..I'm addicted ♡♡

Tell me about it

My husband keeps saying no more... Then sends me after "just one more kind". Then he decides he wants me to gather eggs for ANOTHER hatch

Fingers definitely crossed.. did u check the tips of the crest feathers to see if they were pointy or round ?

does this help determine sex?

Thanks guys. Will this work at only 5-6 weeks old??? Should I wait until they get older to check again.

Probably right around then would be the earliest I'd try it use it as a determining factor..it will only get more obvious with age though.

Oh, I know! I have banned myself from TSC until chick season ends, but I'm gonna get guineas so I have to go in........ Guess I'll just hope I can get in and out of there fast enough, lol.
