How many are boys? Three of my favorites... All the little cuties from Katy I hope you enjoy the pics as much as I am enjoying the babies!
Ahhhh, they are so cute. The dark chipmunk one in the 2nd picture looks like she could be a pure BLRW...does it have a rose comb?
I read on a site that when there 4 days old you can guess by there color the females are darker and the males are lighter color! Thats just what I read mine aren't old enough for me to tell what they are mine are only 2 wks old

Quote:Yes, I was looking at it tonight. I have a couple that are showing signs of boys. I think that the blue barring one has one too. Her comb does not look like a single, even with that big yellow spot.
Quote:Just asking because I am totally clueless. Doesn't the spot thing only apply to sex-links??? Susan Correct me if I am wrong----- The silver gene is one that can have up to two doses. However, a female can only have one, so on birds with barring, like Barred Rocks and Marans the more yellow (that will turn white) the more likely that it is a boy. They are basically naturally sex-linked.
