8 new Buff Orpington chicks. [PICS] Old wives tale?

[Magenta_Chick]

I went and picked up 8 buff orpinton chicks this afternoon. No idea what they are as far as sex goes. I held them upside down and 7/8 curled up. Please tell me this is an old wives tale and I don't have 7 roos! please please please

just gotta wait n see

I thought the wives tale was if the legs curled up it's a pullet? If that's the case, you'd be in luck!

This is very much an old wives' tale. Only vent sexing at this age can confirm the gender of your chicks. Don't worry about it for now and enjoy the fuzzies! Very cute!

I know! They have my heart already! They're so soft <3 and so content to just be held and loved on

Oh sooooooooo cute! I have three BO's that are almost 3 weeks old.

Since all I have are BO's, DH and I are naming our coop IN THE BUFF

I agree with the other posts, I too have found this to be an old wives tale, just have to wait and see....

Good, because I was sure enough freaking out. I really dont want/need 7 roos! lol

If that was the case... talk about bad luck!
