I set about 75 BLRW eggs from 3 pens on the 10th. Another round of 60 or so going in on the 17th. looking forward to seeing some improvement this spring...

Can anyone help with sexing 8 week olds? I was lucky enough to purchase 6 8 wk old BLRW and I think I have figured it out but would love some opinions. Also I think I have all blues no splash what do you think?

I believe these are hens:

this one is the smallest, very sweet wants to sit in your hands

I believe these 3 are Roos:

Sorry dont know how to flip

Thanks, I am new to this and would love to end up with at least 1 or two nice BLRW, cant keep the roos in our area

, I would be fined

Cockerel
Maybe a pullet and cockerel here
Wyandottes are extremely tricky to sex by pictures, so do not get rid of any yet. I posted pictures and everyone said I had all cockerels, well half ended up being pullets! Wait another 8 weeks to know for sure. They all look to be blues. Where are you located?

Wow. I wish I had that many BLRW - we have a quad at the moment and a younger trio. The BLRW are so gorgeous. We just hatched our first chicks from our own birds.

First ones look like pullets and the second group, I agree all boys.

peakybeaky,

Thank you, do you think the barring on the feathers will go away?

TexasMja,
Thank you we are in orange county Ca. The possible roo in the first set of boy pics ( sitting on stock feeder)tried to attack me today so he is definitly standing with one foot out the door! The one in the last pic that you mentioned could be a pullet is the prettiest so far color wise and the biggest. I will hold on untill I know for sure but if anyone wants roos and they like the colors they will be available.

I will hatch 300-400 chicks this year for myself now that I have a decent foundation flock. I'm hoping to get 20-30 keepers if i'm lucky. BLRW's are a work in progress. I would love to be a part of getting them accepted to the SOP someday...
