Almost Two Weeks Old...bantam chicks

[haycroft]

My three ikkle chicks are nearly two weeks old...and one of them is already showing signs of getting tail feathers...does this mean its going to be female or male or doesnt it matter at this stage

they move soo quickly and i can never can take a good pic..or they stay close to their mummy

About the tail feathers, a lot depends. Sometimes I can tell the sex by the tail when they're still pretty young. Of course there's no guarantee until they get a bit older, it's just all going by whether it looks like the feathers will stay straight or curl.

So wait until those feathers get a little longer, then it'll be easier to guess
