My husband says a farmer once told him an easy way to sex a very small chick ( like a couple days old) was to look at its beak. If it had a flat round beak it would be female, and if it had a small ridge it would be a boy?
Has anyone ever heard of this? I know females can have combs as well...
I picked up some chicks this morning and the man gave me three for free. they had horrible pasty. like the whole backside was covered in hard bedding and it SMELLED when I cleaned it all off.
The others are moving, one started eating, the others still walking about but hes wobbly, the last one...
