Meyer Hatchery Chicken pics anyone??

The speed of feather growth can indicate the sex of the chick, but the tendency for slow-feathering in the male offspring has to be bred into them. I'm not sure if it's a reliable sexing method for buff Orpingtons. Honestly, I'd wait until you see more definite signs, like comb growth, before deciding if you have a little boy in your mix.

Okay thanks

I'm just being paranoid again... lol

Rooster paranoia. I get it every year with my chicks. This year, though, I'm kind of hoping my black frizzle Cochin bantam is a boy.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you too!

Thanks! I'm not sure about him, because I'm pretty sure the EE bantam is a boy at this point and Po (the Cochin bantam) is smaller, has less comb growth, and doesn't stand as upright. Never thought I'd see the day I got hen paranoia.

It's so exciting to see everyone finally getting their springtime chicks ... it's giving me the fever BAD. The Chick Fever. My husband is going to kill me. Just sayin' ... I have no control.

I get rooster paranoia with every batch of chicks - doesn't matter that I've ordered sexed females, I'm always convinced at least one of them is a roo until I get eggs lol. My current batch though, I'm really really paranoid that I have two ancona roos!
