All hens? (ISA browns)

[Krcismesia]

I got 6 ISA chicks this morning and was wondering if it was possible to sex them? I think they are all hens but I'm not sure.

Also they have been sleeping ALOT they get up to shuffle every once and a while but are way less active than the other 4 chicks I've had in the past

Too young, post pics at 6 - 8wks. Wing sexing can be done on certain breeds, at a certain age. They are CUTE!

Ok thanks I wasn't sure if they were to young to tell thanks for the info

Since those are Sex Links, you can tell them by their coloring at hatch. Those are all pullets.

ISA browns are a red sex-link hybrid. All the pullets are red with speckles of white while the roos are mostly white.

ISA is just an acronym for the company that has the right to the name, Institute de Selection Animale

We have 6 ISAs and theynlay the largest eggs I have ever seen. On occasion we will get one that looks like a goose egg & will have 2 full yolks. They are so sweet, they come running whenever I call them, looking for a treat of course.
