There's lot's of good info to grow healthy chicks with BYC's . You may be able to identify your breeds with help from some of the forums and members.

Good luck with your chicks.

Your chicks look like the same age as mine, right now they are starting to grow their wing feathers and soon swap out the baby feathers for newer ones.

Where did they come from and are they purebred?

I ordered them through stromberg hatchery. First batch must of got squished. the new ones are doing great. I wish they were more social when i'm working in brooder they all scramble. Any hints to get them more social?

My chick pic's are from months or so back. I am out of chicks at moment.

Feather sexing is very accurate if it's done early, within 5 days of age is best..

I found this site that shows how to feather sex. You can click to see different pics of roos and pullets.

When I learned I had it down after a few tries. It's about 90-95 %.for me. I sell a straight run but like to pull out some of the cockerels, so there is more pullets. My chicks are all gone. I am expecting a lot more to hatch in the up coming week.


Good luck!
