Feather sexing your chicks??

[jackrooster]

Can you feather sex all chicks or just sertins ones??? and if you can do this with all chicks can some one tell me how to do it?? thank you

You can only do it if the birds are bred for that trait.

Here is a page that shows you how to do it in a slideshow
