At least she is making up for last years boys! I have so many cockerels, all I see are red combs walking around...LOLSue, my lone pullet from you that I have from last year is producing mostly girls, out of about 40 chicks (several different hatches) she has given me about 30 girlies.......... Her boyfriend was a Craigslist special, supposedly Davis line. Here she is, my little butterball with her mate and one of their little girls:
I haven't found tails to be an accurate sexing method. What I've used occasionally, and usually at just a few days old when they are little, p icking them up by the nape of the neck. The boys will struggle for a long time, while the girls seem to give up & just hang quietly sooner. Other than that, waiting for comb & wattles is the only sure way to tell.
That is so true! Also why I usually don't sell pullets, just straight run chicks. Also because I don't want to have to feed them for long....LOLX 2 I have way too many chicks and when people want to buy they all want pullets. I look in the pen and think I can tell some girls, I tag them and then the more I stare at them the more confused I get - they all start to look like roos
