Bourbon Reds - gender check

[meriruka]

Here are my 4 BR's. I'm thinking the two on the left are boys and the two on the right are girls. Am I right?

Sorry, I can't tell. But they are some nice looking birds. What do you plan to do with them?

 

[meriruka]

Thanks!
I plan to breed them, but I will probably only keep one tom.

Refer to this thread posting #15 gives a good photo of what to look for in the breast feathers.

Close ups of head/neck, and any incoming feathers on the back between the wings. From size alone - it's hard from the angle. That's likely either one male and three female or two/two. The front bird is the likeliest Tom.

look for shank and foot size, snood size and body size, all larger in males, although they can fool you also, If you have room to raise them to almost maturity, I would do so, just to be sure.

I know the picture isn't the greatest...I will get better close-ups in the morning. Thanks everyone!
