This is my first go at keeping chickens, there is so much information out there. I wasn't sure if the change in coloring happened after 6 weeks or if that was truly a reliable way to tell. It seems like some on here can look at a chicken and guess the gender right away hahaha.
I've been looking at a lot of these posts and the one thing that seems pretty consistent in most of them is that dark brahmas can be sexed by their coloring. Penciling means hen right??? Is that a for sure way to tell or is that just a guess too?
