My cute polish bantam babies were born November 13th - 16th (day 21-24).
I'd really appreciate some tips on sexing (before they're at age to lay eggs or crow!!) they're 3 weeks old today..here they r!
1 - This was the 1st born! - I'm leaning towards 'pullet' cause this one dives at my diamond ring ;-)
2 - This cutie had splayed leg, treatment (vet wrap) cured it in 5 days, could never tell now!
3 - No idea on this one, just too dang cute!
4 - Unsure with this cutie too
5 - 'Brutus' - dubbed this from how 'he' picked on the next one when my brinsea brooder stopped heating n transferred them to a globe. The bully has calmed since switching to a lower wattage globe now..
And now the frizzles of the hatch...
6 - The recipient of 'Brutus's bullying'. Leaning towards boy (cause that's the only one that Brutus picked on n would try to get some back too!) most of this ones crest feathers were 'plucked' by Brutus.
7 - No idea on this one!
8 - 'Tinkerbell'...the teeniest one of them all. This one pipped wrong end n no progress on day 23 for 24hrs..I thought it was dead, was 'eggtopsing' it when it moved once I had removed 2/3 of the shell! Now thriving, no health problems now (was a 'mushy' chick). Tinkerbell is 'behind' in feathering Vs the rest, and 1/3 smaller than the rest too.
So any guesses and reasoning to boy/girl would be greatly appreciated!
