I picked up my order from Cackle Hatchery today. Six black tailed white Chabos!!
My question: boys or girls?
They were sold as straight runs as most chicks are. I didn't know if there was some way to tell the difference between sex early on (these are day old). They are two different colors: four are big, puffy, and yellow...... and two are small and white.
Is the difference between them sex? Are there four of one gender and two of another? Or does color not play a part?
I will say: the white marshmallows have slightly larger combs and the yellow puffy ones have similarly sized combs (if not smaller) that are well hidden by fluff.
Any clues?
(Top: two white chicks, bottom: four yellows)
My guess? Two roos and four hens. I could be very wrong...
