Little loud mouths boys?

Any truth to the idea that those tiny screamers are the boys? We spent a couple hrs watching everyone to band all the yellers just to test the theory.

I can't help you with that one but I did notice my chicks are huddling according to breed.I only had one that hatched out of a green egg and its by itself a lot. Proof that birds of a feather do in fact like to flock together.

I have not been able to verify that the screamers are always male. I have, however had one actually crow while still in the incubator!

My leghorn and legbar cross cockerels started crowing at 4 weeks and tried to mate at 5 weeks.I made the broody hen a house chicken so they'd stop harassing her.

That's too freaking funny. I am gonna keep tabs on this batch of 19 and the next hatch. Just for shits and giggles.
