Feather sex-able??

[caitanni]

sex-able..is that a word? Anyways These chicks are all 6 to 7 days old. Hatched last week in my incubator. I have seen that you can sex them after they are a few days old. These are the 2 ( in the pic you can see one has rounded wing feathers and the other is kind of separated and jagged)different type of feathering they all have going on right now. I have 5 with the rounded wings and 2 with the jagged.

There are several videos on Youtube about sexing chickens.When they are just hatched staggered feathering is females and even are males. This only works when till they are a couple of days old. This covers two different methods.
