Ok we hatched these chicks 4 weeks ago and my daughter thinks by looking at their wings early on that there are 6 pullets and 3 roos. I on the other hand was reading that pullets get their tail feathers in first SO if that is correct we have 6 roos and 3 pullets!

What do you think?!?

No obvious cockerels yet.

Too young. Chicks cannot be wing sexed unless they are under 3 days of age with the correct genetics.

I think there is no point in guessing yet as it really would be a guess. There are a couple standing like males already but that's subjective and really much more difficult to see in still photos.

A bit too young to be certain, but probably a cockerel.

I thought it odd, maybe a peahen cross?


Am I the only one who looks at the pics of the bird discussed above(2!d phot specifically) and thinks that it looks so much like a velociraptor or some other dinosaur it's scary? Lol I think it's half Dino half chicken lol. Very cool looking bird. Possibly a game bird mix? Also looks a little like a production red.
With a crane? Lol she's very tall and elegant. For Halloween this year you need to make her a velociraptor costume lol
Thank you for mentioning that as I couldn't decide if they were in the setting or rising sun or not. They are very beautiful and true Isabel birds are stunning in my opinion. If they're just for pets and you don't plan to sell their chicks then go for it breed them and post what you get. I'd be interested to see it myself.
