I've been fairly good at tail sexing them, at least with the stock I have now. The pullets tails come in long and the cockerals tails tend to stay short and choppy looking....anyone else notice this in theirs?

I have heard of this in Brahmas. I do have 1 or two with longer tails. We'll see.

Put up pictures of their backs. Usually that is how I tell with mine.

I tried uploading two, here is the second.

I have 9 dark hatchery pullets (so far they are pullets) and need to clear some out - got them as day olds in March - so do I go by toe feathering at this point?

I will guess two females and a male. Hard to tell right now but that is my guess.

Desperation - wanted to get my project started and can't find ANY quality birds here about. These don't look too bad considering, the down color was correct but only 3 have good middle toe feathering - if you want to ship me a roo in October when it cools down...

pullet? and why the different colors?
