feather sexing

[rita2paul]

i am hatching some wyandotte and araucana and was wondering can i wing sex these when they are a day old. i know some breeds this can be done but not sure on my hatching eggs.
has anyone had any experience on this please.

I have done this

I'm not sure what breeds you can do this with, but I tried with my Java, Buff, Barred Rock, Partridge Rock, and Americauna.

No, unfortunately you cannot do that with those kinds of breeds.. I believe they have to be bred with different breeds to have the trait.. Something about breeding a slow maturing rooster to a hen that matures fast..

When I wing sexed these guys, it was about a year ago, and the result that I thought I found were correct! if you need to know how to wingsex, I would use this link!

i don't think i will try vent sexing. but the wing sexing is interesting.
but iam not sure that i will be able to check it on bantams.
