Anyone ever successfully correlated comb development with gender in hatch mates @ 8-10 weeks?

The guy I buy excess roosters from does very well at it. Too well. Watch the wattles as well.

depending on the breed's involved comb and waddles are a great way to tell gender at an early age.

Probably a good indication at that age. He gets it right 100% at 6 weeks.

Be careful not to accidentally let them taste chicken feed. Mine like it better than theirs and will try to get in the pop door to get it.
