Really? Yeah, I don't know for certain. I did the wing thing, and they have the long feather short feather pattern. I was wondering what kind of noise they make. Two of these sound like they are being choked. Or, maybe, like little dinosaurs lol.
My best guess is that they are about 6 weeks old.
As regards the wing feather sexing, many internet pages forget to tell the most important fact: it does not work on most chickens. It only works when someone crosses a rooster with the gene for fast feathering and a hen with the gene for slow feathering.
If they are 6 weeks old, I am pretty confident all three are males. Those combs are quite big and red for that age.
So how do I tell? One hasn't made that noise, and the other 2 have been doing it for close to a couple of weeks. Not a lot, and not as loud, so I guess they were just trying it out.
Start a new thread in the section "What Breed or Gender is this," with clear photos of each bird. Try to have at least one good photo showing the comb & wattles, and one showing the body.
Will do. Thank you so much.
They are adorable, and pretty friendly. They like to fly, however, lol.
I might try that. I've been so busy getting our big girls ready for Winter that I've not had much time for anything else. At 62 I move a lot slower than I used to, lol.
