Hey everyone!
Some help here would be really appreciated!
How do you guys tell the gender of a chicken?
Its just that I have a friend who wants me to tell her what gender her chickens are and I have no idea!
I know from agriculture at school that in the average chicken such as Rhode Island Red's, you outstretch their wing and look at the feathers. The males have the longest feathers.
I'm not too sure though!
She has a few Old English Game crossed with Belgiums.
She also has 2 silkies.
Its going to take forever to catch the OEGxB
What should i do? Stretch out the wing or is it different for these breeds?
I know that you can tell from pics.
What angles etc pics should i take.
But also from interest, HOW do you smart people tell???
Thank you in advance for any help that you can give me!
She is worse than me! lol promise!
But she doesnt have internet so can't join this, so I'm doing it fro her!
Thanks again
