Are my MPC BRs all pullets?

[speckledhen]

If those were hatched here and I was sexing them, I would say two cockerels and one pullet. Remember, they vent sex these chicks, they do not go by BR sexing rules. Vent sexing is a real art and some aren't as good at it as others. BRs are not feather sexed unless a line is specifically bred for it, either.

Oh yeah! I totally forgot a lot of hatcheries (if not all of them) vent sex. Maybe there is some hope.

Post pictures of them in a couple weeks. By then, it should be apparent. The best way to do pics is in natural outdoor light and not really close to the chick.

^Okay. I wish it were this easy to sex Leghorns.

Hey Kargo -

Sorry I said anything about your little BR's. Maybe they'll all end up being pullets after all.

I'll attach pics of my girls at 1 wk and 5 wks so you can see the legs and head spots. They came from Privet Hatchery, New Mexico.

Hey - did the box or packing slip indicate which Hatchery your MPC's came from?

I'm just curious if mine will come from the same one considering I'm up in Washington State.
