sexing 1 day old

Hi Any tips on sexing day old chicks (don’t know if it is even possible). Just curiosity rather than anything else 😊 Here are a few pics of them and my goodness aren’t they sweet (also any ideas on what colour these will be as adults?) - I had to get some fertile eggs for my broody chicken as...

I ordered chicks from a farm store nearby and got 1 female black sex link but when I got home I googled it and found that males have the white spot. I assumed the man working there knew how autosexing worked so I didn't double check there. Is there any chance this is a female? I was told they...

I bought 8 chicks yesterday at a local feed store, was planned! I'm down to three 2 yrs old hens of my previous 7 chickens [2 were Roosters](lot's of heartbreak). This 1st chick is supposed to be a Red Sex link, I got 3, other 2 look like pullets but this one is really friendly and gives me...

My granddaughter came out to play for a while too. This is Ellie she watched them hatch and says she's their mama. The one in her lap asleep is Jacko. She watched him hatch and claimed him for her own because he saw her first. The one white one I'm wondering if its a roo. It chest butts the...

Hi everyone! Yesterday my first lot of barred rock chicks hatched! Is anyone here familiar with sexing them at a day old? After reading google and looking at head spot and leg colouring, I think I have 3 pullets and 2 cockerels. Would anyone else agree by looking at their head colouring? Thanks!

Hello! I've been lurking for a while now because I find this forum so informative, but finally got some chicks of my own - my first ever! They are all porcelain d'uccles, and their hatch date is around March 24-26, which would make them around 4 weeks old. I think one is a definite rooster -...

I read somewhere that this mix creates black sex links, but haven’t been able to find any other information about them. I’ve started hatching eggs recently from my flock and the third “bsl” hatched this morning, they’ve all come out black with patterns and feathered legs, however this third one...

So I've recently been sucked into the black hole of what is chicken colouring genetics. And after days of research... I'm still a bit confused I've discovered how wonderfully complex and interesting this area is! And would like some advice, thoughts, opinions or maybe some links to information...

Hi could anyone help see if they could help me with the sex of these mixed bantam chickys. I'm not sure of what breeds they are apart from photo (3.) which is a silkie so that might not work with wing sexing anyway. they are all a couple of days old. The photos are not the best as my 7yr old...

Hello, So I recieved my crested cream legbars and they are supposed to be female. Ive looked at pictures and forms and a ton of info on cream legbars and autosexing. For an auto sexed breed there sure are alot of confused people like myself. Males are supposed to have a spot on the head and...

So I got some Rhode Island Red x white Sussex eggs to hatch to add to my flock two hatched yesterday and what I thought would be really easy is proving not to be. I know one is definitely a girl but the other I’m not sure if he is a boy or not as he is more yellow but there is brown along his...

My chicks have hatched! I’m hoping someone could help me!! All less than 18 hours old. The the hens that layed these are a brown layer from a hatchery, not sure on the breed they are just called browns but they are sexable as yellow cockerels and red hens at hatching. The rooster parent is a...
