Hi all,
I was wondering if you could help me sex these chicks. We tried our luck hatching chicks this year and ended up with two little ones. The father is a missed breed which includes barred (little bit of bantam, and something else that gives him feathers on the sides of his legs). The mom is unknown - could be one of any number of chicks (note: we do not have any white leghorns though).
That said, here are the two chicks at 3 weeks old. I am pretty sure the first is a hen, but I am worried the second is a roo (praying she isn't though - already have two roos and one isn't that friendly)
1.
Suspected Roo
I am hoping that maybe the mom is just different as she has been slightly larger than the 1st one since hatching. I do note that the feet are also larger than #1.
Thanks for the help!
