55 Flowery Sexing

[swamp_stalker]

This is my first go at hatching 55's. I am pretty sure I have 2 roos and 5 hens. All the ones we are holding I believe to be little girls. Thoughts?

The little yellow ones are my two Olandsk Dwarfs. Love this little guys.

Anybody?

I would agree 3 females and 2 males in that first picture.

Wait a few weeks. Way too young.

Cyrss, I'm new to this breed so I am not being argumentative, but they market this breed as being able to sex them as day old chicks. Maybe the accuracy increases the longer you wait??

Adding better individual pictures. I am keeping them all, so I am not in a rush to sex them. Just trying to learn as I will be breeding them.

Oops, sorry, not familiar with the breed. I was thinking along the lines of breeds that can't be sexed early. Very cool! What do you look for when sexing this breed at 1 day old?

You look for blond down on back of the head, but sometimes it seems like it isn't quite that simple. Sometimes the head is colored but they have blond stripes on their back. I am sure to a trained eye it is easy. My eyes are NOT trained in this breed.
