Great photos Livinwright!! I learned about wing sexing a few days after my chicks were born. It was too late. Next hatch, I'm going to try this.

Thank you! I was even using my camera that isn't good for much... I was shocked they came out as well as they did. Glad I could post them here to help anyone.

Thank you so much for the feather sexing info! That is so helpful! I am going on Friday to pick out some chicks and they will be 3 days old! Thanks!

I use that same method for sexing. It works well most of the time.

Here are two photos examples that I took of my most recent mutts. This can be done with ANY 2-3 day old chick, by the way.

Thank you sooo much! I just bought my 10 new chickies today and we were worried that we had a bunch of roo's because last year 80% of what our store solded ended up being roo's. I now believe the we only gained 1 roo out of the bunch. We'll see how he goes, if he can stay and play nice

or become dinner.
