Well, the problem was this: Let me see if I can explain how she told me to do it......OK...when they get their wing feathers, pull the wing out. If the feathers are all the same length (make a nice straight wing curve = girl. And if you have a line of long feathers and then the feathers towards the body are much shorter= boy.I've been pretty accurate with feather sexing so far, give or take a few birds. HOWEVER, I thought I was positive on the Barnevelders, because the wings were so distinctly different. Ummm...2 that I was certain were pullets, are clearly NOT, and 1 I was certain was a roo is showing no signs of being one aside from extremely slow feathering, 2 I'm pretty certain are pullets. I wonder what Kiomey ended up with, as she was a victim of my "feather sexing" too? Sorry Kiomey. BTW they say with Barnies that white chest is boy, and brown chest is girl, that was not correct either! Only 1 out of 10 had a white chest.
THAT IS NOTHING LIKE WHAT I JUST WATCHED ON SEVERAL VIDEOS ABOUT SEXING NEW BABIES!!!
Perhaps I need to offer one more
