Male or Female?

[jaketheeggman]

I just got 28 meat birds straight run from Sunneyside hatchery and was wondering if you can tell if they are male or female? There are 2 birds that look a little different than the rest. They have some darker hairs on their head and the feet are a different color. I was wondering if these would be the roosters? I would be very dissipated if that was the case because, i wanted half males and half females.

Thanks
Jake

you can start picking out the roo's in about 4 weeks. You will have no question.

Color doesn't mean a thing. Possibly you got 2 chicks of a different breed mixed in accidentally. You will see big combs & wattles on you roosters in about a month.
