No buttheads allowed that's for sure.

One of the boys is a sweetheart.

I was cursed with 5 cockerels.

So 2 are pullets.

Are these the ones you wing sexed?

Yep, which is okay. The first time with a new breed is always a bit rocky, so me getting this wrong is a learning experience for the next time, now that I know what to look for.

Sumatras, Orpingtons, D'uccles, Silkies, RIRs, Easter Egger/Brahma mixes, & a few more I can't think of at the moment are what I've been able to Wing Feather Sex successfully.

I just got up a few minutes ago.

I had better luck with my Project Orpingtons genders .

1 boy, & 3 girls. The black one is the only cockerel.
Here they are at 1 week old.

These were sexed at 1 day old, but waiting a week makes the growth patterns more clear.
