pekin bantam

[Nicola]

i dont own any yeet but i was wondering how to sex a pekin bantam when they are little?

Well, the only thing I can say is that ours sparred at 3 or 4 days old. Then one would drag another by their foot etc. They turned out to be roos. Hope it helps a little!!

We have a five week old and he started getting very red around the wattles and comb at about two weeks. He has always been extremly fiesty too

He is so sweet but just likes to squak

On cochins (aka pekins) the comb and wattles on the males develop at a young age, usually by 4 weeks.

Sparring is not necsessarily an indicator of sex; both males and females will spar with either sex.

comb and wattle, you can sorta tell on 4 week old chicks, but some rooster can be late bloomers.
