difference between chicks?

[melton33]

I was just wondering if anyone knew how to tell between buff orpingtons and delwares when they first come out of the eggs?

Based on the hatchery pics here, the delewares should have some black markings on their heads, while the buffs will be solid

alright thanks a lot, because i was going to hatch them out and sell them and i want both of them, but if i cant tell the difference at hatch time then i dont no if the person will get the right type of chicken but that helps alot.

Just check each of the hatcheries or post a request on the "buy, sell, trade" section here.
