Chicks

Hi guys, I’ve paired a ayam cemani bantam hen with a white silkie rooster. And look what I got from them I’m selling some currently, if your interested. Located in North highlands CA

SO pretty! how can you tell their sex while they are so small? Im wondering because I have only raised chicks once and I ended up with one that i couldn't tell the gender until it was 9 months old.

Be careful using rhat method with any certainty. I kinda feel like if it was that easy to sex chicks, no one would get accidental roosters....

Very cute babies!

For wing sexing the chicks have to be specifically bred for the trait.

As for the technique used in the diagram it seems absurd to me. I'm fairly certain if you did this to the same chick several times, it's likely to behave differently, not that I'm saying you should it looks dreadful.

In my opinion it wouldn't be any different that offering a child a barbie or toy car and using that to determine gender.
