2 Mystery Chicks

[ChickenExtreme]

I did the test where you hang the chick by the scruff of the neck and his legs just dangled. Supposedly that means its a rooster. Is there any validity to this test?

There's nothing to it, it's an ole wives tail, lol

Hi, this is a youtube link of sexing the chickens, for the majority of the time it was correct for me

I did it to 20 New Hampshires and was suppose to have 14 hens according to that test, turns out, I didn't have one. And then a buddy of mine tested his the same identical way it was totally bogus too. And he had a few different kind. I just don't feed into it anymore, doesn't mean anyone else won't fall for it

that can really hurt if not kill a chick their age and is meant to be done on day olds and no older than that...i heard that it works about 45% of the time
