Please help identify breed (and gender?) of my Miracle Bird :)

That is such a good idea! I got two golden sebrights and I was thinking "How can I tell them apart when they're older?!?" So you just gave me my solution!

I'm happy to know I could help a little. My kids and I puzzled over how we would tell them apart the first week, and one day I was painting my nails and it occurred to me that could work on them! Plus they look super cute with their little manicures! lol

I tried using nail polish but it rubs off very easily, zipties or bands around the ankles works much better for me.

Got 2 new chickens today. I was told they are both hens, but I have serious doubts about the little one. It looks like a rooster and acts fearless even attacking my older rooster. Can anyone tell me what gender it is?
Maybe someone can even tell me what breed it is. We think it might be a cross of NHR and RIR. Anyone?

I'd be careful with that - chickens love to peck red objects. So, maybe select another color

I know. Hot pink is cute. So is orange

It does rub off, but has been lasting my birds about 2 weeks or more before needing a touch up. Not too bad. But I did see some neon colored zip ties at a dollar store recently, maybe I'll try those next. Would the bright colors be bad though? Hmmmm......

I guess I've been lucky then, cause my birds don't seem to notice at all. I'm thinking about zip ties, but I wonder if they would cause any stress or be more obvious for the others to peck at?

Yes it is! They look so girly with those colors. Right now I'm using hot pink, blue, white and green. The hot pink is my favorite! lol

Some pictures of Twitter taken today, 7 weeks old. Is she a splash polish?
