Attempting to try all sexing methods.

[Happy hen lover]

I saw one where you hold chick up by side of face and if legs hang down too if legs curl up and wiggle hen

That goes against my one rule. Not harming the chick, even if it does not hurt them, it would stress them out. Which is harming the chick.

Also who holds a chick by the head..? That’s asking for their neck to snap.

IDK where to post this, and this is the closest topic I can find, so here we go!

I just hatched some chicks, I want to attempt to try and sex them and see what % of them I guessed correctly. I’ve done feather sexing, sexlink sexing (for fun) vibe sexing, and Apperance sexing. Any more suggestions that won’t hurt the bird? (Vent sexing will be attempted once the birds are a couple weeks old, to prevent death)

I know alot of these won’t work but I think it may be fun to see how many we guess correct.
I will post separate pictures of the chicks on Monday. Enjoy the group shot though! View attachment 3414692

Tell us the results, please.

Tell us the results, please.

Out of all the sexing methods, it was about a 50% accuracy rate. Out of 6 chicks I predicted three males. And 2 females. And 1 unsure.
So far its looking to be 5 males, to one female. But the maybe female is starting to show some signs of being a boy. So there is a high chance that it is 6 males.

So It was just as good as guessing. But it made it fun.

I'm surprised you didn't use the method.
