Hopefully lots of warm sleeping chicks in there

Okay, so I just had someone ask about one of my chicks, and when I said it was straight run because I don't vent sex, they said, "So feather sexing isn't reliable? Males have all the same length feathers on their wings. Females, every other feather ." Anyone heard this one before?

I have used this method accurately before on certain breeds. Could have been luck, but I have been right 9/10 times. Though the females have a "dip" in the feathering on their wing, not every other length. I will not sell chicks sexed like that though. I won't sell them sexed unless they are an autosexing color breed that is obvious. I don't want someone to end up unhappy with a roo I told them was a hen. It just seems to work for me (even with turkeys. Last spring, I bought two broad breasted bronze from the feed store, after inspecting them I picked out two by using the wing Theory, and I ended up with the male being a male and the hen being the hen.) I guess I could just be really lucky, but I also have bought my BCMs this way and was right and a pair of cochin hens. I was wrong with a blue Marans.

So if I ever have any extra Midget eggs available can I still call them white?

She'll be fine. If you have one of those old ticking clocks, they are good to wrap up in a blanket and put in her sleeping area. will mimic moms heart and keep her company. fingers crossed!
