This is a pic of day old BB Reds. The male chicks is on the left and the female is on the right. The eye stripe and the dark back are the points to look for in sexing any of the "duck-wing" patterned OEGB's. I didn't know this for the longest time and I make it a point to pass it along any time I can.
 
Oh, how I like lurking here... learn so much! Wish I could do more with OEGB's... But I can't eat 'em and the eggs (which my kids love) - Mathematically impossible to keep that many laying hens on this property! The joys of genetics...
the genetics of OEGB's will drive you nuts

. i love that baldwin's book, but there are references made in it that are confusing for instance leaden blue and slate blue colorations. they also refer to wheaten as wheaten b.b. red. took me forever to realize that. a modernized copy with color pictures would be handy LOL.
