Hi,
Our hatchlings are now almost 12 weeks old and very established in the flock. We have two white leghorns, hatched the same day. We’re pretty confident one is a Cockerel (Blue ring), but we’re unsure about his sibling.
They are both robust birds with a well established red comb and wattle, but Green is a much calmer, docile bird than Blue, unless being harassed by Blue when he/she will retaliate then run away! The major difference we’ve noticed is in their tail feathers - while both long and carried upright, Blue’s fan out and are a more tapered shape than Green’s.
Photo’s below, any help appreciated!
