... How?

I go by feather growth patterns, based on feathering rates.

 

[MysteryChicken]

Its a hit or miss, didn't work for me.

I'm self trained, been doing it for several years.

Let's give your's a shot?

Just gotta open the wing like a fan, & move some of the fluff away from the buds.

Too much bees today. Too. Much.

Hundreds.

The sugar water didn’t seem to work great for me. Anyone have any other tactics for deterring bees?

Please don't kill the bees! Is there any way to store the feed in containers the bees can't get into?

I go by feather growth patterns, based on feathering rates.

But genetically, there wouldn't be a difference between a female sex and male sex, without a specific cross. I don't see how its possible no matter how long you have been doing it.

I've figured out a way actually. I've done so with purebred Sumatras, Silkies, & Buff Orpingtons.

If I remember to, I'll be making an article on my way of identifying the different sex pattern in the growth rate of feathers.

Somebody sent me this, like any fool could do it.

 

[MysteryChicken]

I don't go by charts, though they can be handy depending on source.

 

[MysteryChicken]

Only birds I don't sex with this method is sex linked crosses, like the sex linked barring/crosses, or red Sex-link, black Sex-link types. Since they're very obvious.

If you want, we can further discuss this in a conversation so we don't fill the thread up?
