I've read so many things about sexing SLW's that my head is spinning. I have four chicks, all eight weeks old (sold as pullets but you know how that goes!). The problem is they all look pretty much identical. I took photos today (4-16-14) but unless I enlist some help to separate the ones I've already taken pictures of I don't know if I've got double images of the same chicks or not
I know there's some doubles as I think the image in the second row far right and the whole bottom row is the same bird.
They all pretty much have the same hue of reddish/pinkish to their faces, everyone is showing some sort of wattles, etc.... so that's what has me panicked that they are all boys.
What I figured I'd do is throw a mish mash of a bunch of photos together from today and if anything SCREAMS rooster to you let me know and what I'll do is get my husband to help me shoot some new photos so there's detailed ones of each bird and can separate them as I go and post all new images.
