Chick 8

 

[Illia]

Chick 6, the EE, is a boy.


You're gonna LOVE chick 8.

 

[Missymac]

And

Chick 9

 

[Missymac]

I will love chick 8? more than the others? I am very interested in finding out what he/she looks like as an adult.

Chick 5 is very motherly, she/he tends to hang out with the little babies, I have caught him/her on more than one occasion with his/her wings spread out over the babies, nestled down in the corner at night..

 

[Illia]

Chick 8 will be a silver duckwing in color. But, looking at that comb I may be wrong, chick 8 just might be a boy and be golden duckwing w/columbian.

If Chick 8 grows to have ANY color in the shoulders/wings - Boy. If not - Girl.

3 is a definite girl

4 is likely a girl

 

[dsqard]

Chick #9 might be a boy but I am finding that I am terrible with the pea combs and figuring out what is a girl and what is a boy. I would help with the Brahmas, but I am having a terrible time figuring out mine as well.

I think I have finally figured out my dark Brahma chicks but the lights and the one buff I have I go back and forth on.

Guesses-

#1-?
#2-?
#3-Girl
#4-Girl
#5-Girl
#6-boy
#7-?
#8- ?
#9- Boy?

Chick 3,4,and 5 came from a breeder not TS and he said that they were sexed pullets. He had 2 brooders of chicks one with roos and one with pullets- I am not sure if his guess were acurate or not, but it is sounding like they might be...

I have been leaning towards male with chick 8 for quite some time, with every noise, he/she chirps loudly and stretches his/her neck way out, whereas most of the other crouch down and scatter.

 

[Missymac]

Anyone else?

 

[Missymac]

's while waiting...Very curious about the Brahmas...

 

[Missymac]

attempted crowing in the brooder containing chicks 3,5,8,and 9. As well as 2 GLWs(2 weeks old) 6 Golden Comet pullets( just under 1 week) and 6 White leghorn pullets(also just under 1 week)...

It sounded kinda high pitched like art ta rrrrr....

The mystery continues....
