I suspected that he may be a boy from the time he was about a week old... His hatch mate already had tail feather development and wings, but he still had that little nub with very small amount of feather development on his wings... As each week passed... Same thing, he had barely any feathers as his hatchmate and all the other chicks of different breeds had long wings and tail feathers. Now I know ppl keep saying that feather development isn't an accurate way to sex a chick, but I've had experience otherwise. U see another chick we have, a black australorp, had the same feather development rate as this little guy, and he is no doubt a male!! Here is the black australorp that everyone said I shouldn't worry about feather development. . Definately a boy.... Guess feather sexing might work after all
He is the little head in the front of the pic and is barely 6weeks old
