Quote: You better put that stirrin' stick away before someone takes it away and spanks you with it, lol.

And... not trying to stir the pot by any means, but I already know the sex of these chicks, lol.
Glad you got them to make your pellets again, I do like the idea of micro-pellets, so I'd really like to try a bag.

I like being spanked, lol.

Not questioning your ability to sex, really, just curious as to what they are. If I had to guess based on the one picture I would say the bottom left if female, top two are male and the bottom right could be either. Would like to know, so please do tell!

I know I read on here one member can sex peachicks at 24 hours,,right or wrong,,they can sex them,,,50% chance of being right or wrong,,I see barring on all wings so today I think they are all boys. But can I guess again at 3 months?

LOL... I guess I should have phrased my statement a little differently and said that I'm pretty sure I already know the sexes of these chicks. Reason being... I hatched 28 babies from the same 4 adults last season, and all the lighter chicks turned out to be males, all the darker chicks turned out to be Hens. It's kind of hard to tell in this pic, but the front left chick is darker, the other 3 are lighter. But just for gits and shiggles you and I can both guess again in 3 months

I am just guessing is the right front a pied?

Mine just started laying this week, which is about a month earlier than last year. We live in flirida

Yep, that little guy is a Pied

It is a pied? I have gotten chicks that look like that and I got all excited thinking I finally hatched out a pied, but they always ended up being a split to white or split to pied and not a pied. I think pied peachicks have a ton more white on them but that is just what I have experienced and I haven't hatched a ton of split to whites and I haven't hatched any pieds before sadly.

Mine looks just like that, when she got older more of the white showed.
