Wing sexing won't work unless a male with slow feathering genes is bred with a female of fast feathering genes. Hatcheries specifically choose their stock so they can do this. You won't be able to at a breeder. The wing sexing won't be accurate. In all honesty if you are worried about the...
Hey everybody :) So I have 8 BBS Marans, 16 Rhodebar, 9 BBS Ameraucana, 5 Welsummer, and 5 Crested Cream Legbar eggs set on September 8th. Due on the 29th. My last hatch went great but had a tragic ending with my dog killing all of the chicks so I will hopefully have a better experience this time.
