Link to telling sex of Rhode Island Red Rooster and Hens

[Rufflemyfeathers]

Does anyone have the link to BYC on this subject of Rhode Island Red Rooster and RIR Hen ?

RIR are easy to sex! hens have a black line or there heads and rooster don't
this is a hen

this is a rooster

I came across this somewhere, perhaps it will help. (I never noticed the black line thing on my chicks.)

How can you tell with wings and tail?

I mean what's different between them?

Just for fun, here's my guys from yesterday.

If this is right I have a roo named Goldilocks.....

Is this 100% positive way to sex chicks though?

 

[ebonykawai]

This isn't 100%. I had quite a few females last March that didn't have the stripe.

My god, I didn't know that. Well that makes my life a little easier now. Thanks, that was VERY helpful.
