I didn't notice all the LONG necks the first time around. These GIRLS

have me worried and they are only 2 weeks old. They are not making any funny noises that I could take as crowing (thank goodness!)

Please help me. Please tell me that girls LOVES to stretch their necks too!

They all stretch their necks. Did you hatch these or were they sexed day-olds??

I hatched them. I am uploading pictures now so I will post some in a few minutes.

There might be a few boys, but I don't believe they're all boys.

Got any gravy to go in that roasting pot?

I don't think they're all boys either.....as they grow they all kind of get that streched neck look.

We had a really easy time sexing our RIRs by the tails and wingbow feathers. The girls all got tails and wingbow feathers early and our one boy got his tail really late and didn't have the wingbow feathers. Those pics look like a lot of girls to me. I have very little experience though, but I like to try and then see what the pros say...

Feather sexing only works if you breed for it. Otherwise, it's a waiting game like most hatched chicks. I'm pretty sure I see a little of each, which is typical for hatched chicks. In about 2 more weeks, you'll have a good idea of who's who.
