I've got groups of Buff Orps, Speckled Sussex and 4 Black Aussies and all are about 6-8 weeks old. I need to know which ones are cockerals and which are pullets, as I'm selling 2 of each to a friend and they only want pullets/hens later. (They said its ok if I make a mistake, that we can trade later on, but I tend to think that's harder to do in reality, as I get attached to my birds and don't want to have us each have to re-introduce a strange bird to the existing flock later on....) Can you advise me about feathering and comb types on young birds of these breeds? They are pure and they were eggs from breeders of those types, not a hatchery. I hatched most of them here in my bator...the BOs are from Jody...I want to keep all the rest of them, but just need to pick out 2 pullets from each group. Thanks
