New experiment on sexing 5 weeks old chicks (please read)

[Omran]

Ok it might sounds crazy, but I really think it works: usually a hen will start shake her feather real good when the rooster mounts her, so I tried to put my hand on the back of the little ones to pet them and I figured out that they start to think that they are hens and start to shake the feather after I lift my hand , so I tried it on all little chicks and I think I may have 2 roosters in the group, they are the only two they did not shake.
Does that make any sence or I am just crazy.

All you can do is tag the ones you think are roos and see what happens in a few weeks. If so well there ya go

hhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm *Thinking*

I have five week old chicks.... I could try it. So you just put your hand on their backs? Mine are wild right now, I moved them outside and they turned flighty. :Lol I dont know if it would work with them.

I have 4-5 week old chicks. I'll try it tomorrow. Oh, I love your coop and run. Very nice work!

I'll nibble... keep us posted on this "method". Maybe some of them just like to be petted? (LOL - My Rhodie LOVES it when I scratch his bum, so this doesn't apply to dogs!) I'll have to try it with my fuzzy butts just for giggles.

No, mine don't seem to like having their rumps rubbed. I wonder why? My ferret loves it. Do you think that means she'll grow into a hen?
