Based on what I read here, the girls get long flight (wing) feathers pretty quick and their tails develop about as quickly and tend to point up.
I have been comparing my 3 to the ISA and BSL girls and I'm 95% sure that they are girls. The one Wyandotte with the shortest tail has the longest flight feathers so I hope it is also a pullet.

This is how I sex mine.

I just took a nap. I felt really guilty about it too.
I always feel guilty if I nap- which is silly. But I had to tell my self that I was allowed to take a nap.
My doctor just woke me up by calling. He said my blood count was very low, and he needed me to come in right away to make sure it wasnt lower than yesterday.
So, thats where I am going. His blood machine was broken yesterday, so he had to send out my blood, But today, his machine is fixed so he will get the results right away.

I woke up from my nap LAYING ON MY STOMACH...what a mistake. Didnt think Id ever get up again.. but I have and I am, so I will post back and let you know what he says.

Wow, what another warm day. Turned the lamp off in the brooder and gonna get them chicks out side later for a bit. Then I have to go back to work.

Olive....I love frog legs. I haven't had them in a long time but they are just as good as eating chicken. Not as meaty though but just as good. There's a dinner club in Charlevoix that has a nice menu selection of sea-food, frog leg and steaks. Oh now I'm hungry.

Hillbilly......I must say, all your chickens are very nice looking.

Juise.....good work on the tractor. I need to get one built asap for these little ones.

Took a few pics of the chicks last night. They weren't as cooperative as I liked them to be but I shouldn't expect much....After All....They Are Chickens!

I know the feeling, but we all need a nap sometimes! I am the same way, I feel like I should be doing something productive instead of sleeping.

M Sue, cute babies. Squirt is my favorite I posted pics of my chicks on page #3720, take a look at the 2 wyandottes (they are no name #1 & #2) and tell me what you guys think. They look different from each other to me. The one looking at the camera is the one I think might be a boy...

M.Sue - Petey and Squirt sure are cute and your others are pretty!

I feel bad that it is so bright and sunny here and so gloomy in Washington, but Chicken Rustler will just have to move east if he expects sunshine on a regular basis. With the number of people wanting good weather I figure the sun must be just about used up by the time it travels all the way to Washington.

It doesn't get to Washington!​

You need to NAP so that you can HEAL - please take it easy on yourself, you will get better so much faster.

Thanks all.

Doctor said good news- blood count isnt any lower, so not losing blood. He did say that there is a ton of blood in my abdomen that is going to take a long time to be absorbed- why it still hurts so much.

Pulse rate was higher. Didnt like it. Did an ecg. Said that I have too fast of a heart beat. i have been telling him for some time, but my heart never cooperated before and it was always normal when i would go in. But it has a period of racing feels like it is in my throat. Today, he saw that. Put me on some medicine- but I dont know what it is. The pharmacy didnt have it in stock. Tomorrow.

I have to call my dr at seven to tell him how I am feeling.

I am just tired. I dont feel bad. Tender. and Tired. lol. Today, at Walgreens, I knocked down a box of egg dye and didnt pick it up. So, now I am those kind of people. lol.
