We hatched 6 Goldtops and the sexing at day olds has not been as straightforward as we had hoped! They are now 12 weeks and we have what we are pretty sure are 2 girls and 2 boys, but the other two are causing confusion!
Note: These were eBay eggs so well aware they may not be quite right - but we just wanted some broodies and figured they would be Silkie x Something! They do look about right apart from the two unknowns!
Firstly the ones I think I know . . .
Girl 1
Girl 2 (not her most flattering shot!)
Boy 1
Boy 2
Now for the "don't knows" . . .
White, so should be a boy, but "she" looks like a girl to me and is very different to her brothers. Does not have Silkie feathering.
Gold, so should be a girl, but red wattles (and comb under that hairdo!)
Any help you can offer would be wonderful. Thank you!
