Clank, was the dot large or small? Do you remember? It didn't take me long to figure mine out after all thier grown up feathers came in. Of course, I did have both sexes to compare to.

One had a BIG dot and 1 had a smaller dot.. its how we tell them apart .. Elizabeth 1st is BIG DOT ... Francis is the little dot. as I shared the gal i got them from bought them from a hatchery and ordered all pullets. So this could be interesting LOL What is your thought... they are just 5 wks this friday and the tops of their heads are now a mess of pin feathers. Although I can still tell one from the other has one of them has more black/whiteClank, was the dot large or small? Do you remember?

Same. But I did notice in my mongrels that a certain type of leg patterning was more likely in females than males. I'm certainly no expert on purebreds but I think in some sex linked breeds/hybrids there may be some correlation, i.e. if females of one breed are naturally red feathered and the males white feathered, chances are higher that the females would have yellow legs/beaks etc and the males white. Also males of many breeds, with a good diet, flush bright red down the sides of the legs and toes regardless of their coloring. But for a breed where both genders are the same color I doubt the legs would be any different, but as you say, I could be wrong....I have never heard of leg color having anything to do with sex in any breed. I could be wrong....
thanks! it gets pretty nerve racking, especially since I have an ordinance to deal with, or I really wouldnt care! ...time to convince hubby to move us to where we can have one?
