The one that turned out to be a hen for instance... it has "gold laced feathers" on saddle which is sposed to be male; last feather on wings is a bright brown,and it's got some really dark feathers on shoulder. At what age can you know for sure.
I went to this site and it was very very helpful thanks!. But a lot of times I couldn't figure things out. Like in I NE it is a yearling white and it says it is hen I think, or vice versa. How can you tell??
Where did I get the idea that bs are totally easy to sex. At birth I thought! Now I see these pics and I went to that website with the chick comparison pics and now I realize I can't even see what yall are seeing to sex them. But I bet he's a boy! I mean I have seen babies display but I have...
I have two baby pea chicks so for companionship and warmth I bought a bourbon red poult and a guinea keet also. They are all healthy and doing great. But in the evening when they all bed down the turkey polt starts peeping like he is calling and needing something. Got him at the feed store where...

purple pied baby. Could only afford one so stole a 2 day old chick from my hen to be his buddy. First day without buddy he didn't eat or drink and called and called. It had been in brooder with about 20 chicks. As soon as I put the bitty in with it she (i hope) settled and quit calling then...
my new baby. Purple pied. Should I name it spotty or dotty. Dotty I hope! It is purple pied to purple pied so no sex link. I think it acts so docile it has to be a girl. ..
got this one at auction cause I liked the color. Thought it was big hen. Looks like comb was clipped and nubs where spurs would be. But no crowing. Rooster won't go near it. Hens won't go near it. What is it? Very docile luke a hen. Walks like a rooster.
