Bovan Browns gender?

[robynkravitz]

Does anyone have photos of Bovan brown chicks? We’re trying to figure out what our three cuties are. There doesn’t seem to be pictures of a male or female Bovan Brown chick after a ton of google searches. I’ve read you can tell by their coloring but I can’t find what that coloring is for male vs female!

thanks in advance!!

I did not find chick photos, but I did find a page about them from the place that produces them:

The male chicks will be yellow, and will grow mostly white feathers.
The female chicks will have some amount of brown or red in their down, and will grow feathers in a combination of brown and white. They may get a lot of white in their wings right at first, but should show plenty of brown feathers in just a few weeks' time.

(I can tell this from the photos of the adult hens, and especially from the photos of the parent stock--lots of white hens and a few red roosters, which will produce sex-linked chicks. Hatcheries sell them under many names, but ISA Brown, Gold Comet, Bovans Brown, Red Star, Gold Sexlink, and many others are pretty close to identical, from the perspective of a backyard chicken keeper.)
