    Sexing chicks-comb color or size?

    D’uccle Sexing

    Any guesses about these 4-5 week d’uccles? I’m pretty confident 1 & 3 are roos. What about 2? Comb is noticeably smaller and not pink like the others but should it be that large at 5 weeks? Thank you!

    Bantam Chicken Breed and Gender

    I incubated some eggs that were sold as silkie eggs, clearly mis-labeled. Any thoughts on this one? I thought calico bantam cochin because I know she had those and the legs are feathered but not heavily. She also had Seramas and other bantams. Any thought? Also wondering if anyone has insight...
