asking the experts-day old chicks that can be sexed?

[muddipuppy]

Which breeds of day old chicks can be sexed, both bantam and standard? And how? So far, I have heard welsummers, barred rocks, and buff and partridge brahmas.

 

[Paganbird]

As far as I know, only sex links can be sexed as day-olds. They are mixed-breed chicks where the pullets will have a different coloration from the cockerals.
I don't know of any pure breeds that can be sexed as day olds.
You can sex salmon faverolles as about a week... when their wing feathers start to come in.

I believe that you can add to your list most of the barred, such as cuckoo marans and dominiques. Any sexlink cross, of course, as well.

 

[Happy Chooks]

Yes on the BR and welsummers. Sex links too, obviously. I don't know of any others.

 

[chickenlover54]

I can wing sex day olds of about half of the standard breeds and BRs are easy.

Norwegian Jærhøns. Cream Legbar. Gold Legbar. Niederrheiner.

Have you seen this register?

 

[muddipuppy]

celtic, are hatching eggs for these autosexed birds available?

 

[muddipuppy]

are banty BR's sexed the same way as standards?
