At what age can i start telling the difference between bearded and non-bearded?

 

[Kev]

As soon as the chicks hatch, or until the fuzz dries. Bearded chicks have a "pouf" close to bottom of the eyes, and if a big beard, this pouf will continue under the chin. Non bearded look same as any other chick- "smooth faced".

Look up pictures of easter egger chicks..
