It's not really easy. Some birds you can tell just by the wing feathers. But, you have to know exactly what breed you have, and what the traits are....

Easiest way (and it isn't foolproof) is to flip the bird over. Gently use a finger to pull the skin away from the vent, moving towards the belly. You have to be careful, or you can cuase the bird injury.

A female will have a dull pink flat spot. A male will have a shiny bump. Don't bet that you'll get it right every time, but it can give you a pretty good start.

Mine started today Bantam welsummers I have 1 hatched and 7 more just starting to hatch

I went home at and checked on the eggs, just the one that pipped and it's just sitting there! I hear a lot of cherping but non-pipping.

I guess they will make me wait until their due date, tommorrow before they start hatching out.

Waiting is half the game.
