I feel like odds whole profile description can answer your questions and concerns lol.

There’s a difference between being blunt, and being rude though.

Thanks! I actually didn’t erase anything on this drawing at all...but I just remembered I did erase one thing.
The feet.
They’re too hard.

They look awesome though! Feet are definitely hard. It's very noticeable if they're off at all.

Yeah, yeah, ok.
But the rest of us down- to-earth people can’t do that, so....
Anyways, let’s not argue.

I'm not trying to argue. I'm very down to earth.

How about I demonstrate my sexing method when I start hatching my Malays? How does this sound? After sexing I'll mark the boys blue with a dab of food color on their head, or back.

Sounds like a good idea. Tag me when they hatch!
I can't sex chicks apparently any way. Even vent sexing. I can vent sex any other type of poultry.
I've done the feather thing, never worked for me.

Okay, I will.

what age can I start sexing based on presence/ absence of hackles and saddles?

Around 12-14 weeks. Comb is usually the best route. That can happen really early.

My two 23 day olds are already showing red combs. Boys.
