    Opal Legbar chick sexing

    Hi there. New to Opal Legbars - just hatched a few chicks and was wondering if anyone would know if these are hens or roosters? I know how to tell the cream legbars apart but is it possible to tell the opals apart as well? They are the bottom two. The others are Silverudds.

    Identifying Sex of 5wk Old Call Ducks

    Hey ya’ll! I got some ducklings from Metzer farms, and they turned 5 weeks old today. One is a white call duck, one is a pastel call duck, and one is a pencilled call duck. Their vocal range has been growing over the past weeks, and my suspicion is that the white and pastel ones are females...

    Sexing Pea Combs at Hatch?

    Here’s a phenomenon I’d recently wondered about as I’ve hatched chicks: Are males obvious from hatch sometimes? I know there’s a sentiment “you’ll never truly know until they crow or lay an egg”, but I fear it’s cracking up to possibly be a lot simpler than that! Maybe. This is the mom of...

    Rooster & Hen Hatching

    I sometimes like to hatch birds, my favorite being button quail. The last batch I hatched was way over distributed with roosters. Out of about 30 eggs that hatched, 20 of them were roosters. I won't go into the horrors these little bastards played with me and the hens, but this was a CF from...

    Pendulum sexing experiment.

    I tested eggs pre incubation using the pendulum method. I attached a large needle to string, held an egg in one hand and the pendulum above it. The needle will start to move on its own. Ive read conflicting statements about which way for which gender but after testing it on all the people and...

    Rooster or Hen

    Hi all! I got this silkie in the beginning of September from a local mennonite who assured me it was a hen. I was told that it was hatched late spring/early summer. I noticed it tonight that it was mounting another hen. When I looked at it up close I think it may have characteristics of roo...

    Help with sexing 7 week old easter eggers!

    Hi all, I have half a dozen of 7 week old easter eggers that we got from a local breeder. aren't allowed to keep roosters where we live, so I am hoping we only have pullets. Now that they are a bit older, I'm hoping their gender will be distinguishable. Other threads have told me to look at...

    12 Week-old Black Australorp

    Hello everyone. I am trying to determine if our 12 week-old Black Australorp, Vivian, is a pullet or rooster. (She'll be 13 weeks old on Wednesday). I am curious what you all think. I had no doubts about her until this week when her comb started getting redder. Thanks! Dawn

    Confirming my kids' worst fears: all roosters? (Sex confirmation request, please!)

    Purchased at a feed store from a breeder as left over easter eggers. The two white were hatched around Feb 14, and the black around Feb 28. (24-26 weeks ish) Each of my kids picked a bird to love, with the knowledge that we couldn't keep any roosters. I believe their worst-case scenario has...
