Thank you so much for taking the time to write this. Amazing, really appreciate it. Look forward to your summer chart!

No problem! I'll let you know when I make it if I can remember, haha.

Any successful methods of sexing day old chicks? Wing sexing?


Ramble on!

Sadly I haven't been able to sex day-olds yet but I go by their combs and tails. I have been quite accurate with combs so far. But issue is that's stuff you can only see by 2 mos+ :\
So it will be interesting to see if I can learn how to tell with day-olds.

@MysteryChicken had a unique method which she attempted to explain in a PM, but we had the idea of creating a thread about this topic, that way anyone who is interested can view the thread.

I have been using what I refer to as 'old wives tale' sexing methods on all of my chicks and compiling the results in an article here on BYC for several years now. I'm always on the lookout for new methods to add to my roster so I'll be following for that.

In case anyone is interested in having their 1-7 day old chicks wing sexed, please let me know here and I can add you to the PM with MysteryChicken and she will attempt to wing sex your chicks!
She has already successfully and accurately wing sexed lots of my chicks!

Did you ever make it? No rush, just wondering!

It's in progress, I have all of the pics but I'm waiting to see if my guesses turn out to be accurate. And there's many variations of how the genital eminence can appear so it's hard to document them all.

No worries! Be sure to post it here!
Good luck.
