My silver pullet got in the box for the first time today, my rooster sat down next to her. I guess he didn't want to miss the birth of his first child!

I have 2- 3 week old chicks. So friendly and sweet. At what age should I be able to tell color and sex? They look like black/ gold but I read they can look very different as they age.

Some of them are able to be sexed by the color of the breast fluff even at this age. To me it looks like the one on the left is male (white breast) and the one on the left is female (grayish or brownish breast). I was able to sex mine with 100% accuracy at that age this year!

My friend from the Netherlands, Michael, came through and 3 fliers arrived from across the pond in yesterdays mail. Some really nice pics inside. We will be exhibiting at the Eastern Iowa Poultry Assoc. show this weekend in Iowa City, Iowa. And yes, I will be exhibiting a pair of bantam Barnevelders!
Those of you who have requested fliers or copies, I will do my best to get some good reprints made?? And let you know after this weekend and all its business.

BB This pullet took reserve Continental in Alberta, Canada last weekend. Couple cockerels on the photo also, but picture is too dark to see color well. At least you see the type somewhat.

Congratulations on your win, your pullet is beautiful. The cockerels look nicely balanced.
