Poults of 2023

[casportpony]

True slates do not have any brown on them. It can be caused by the red color gene in the case of a rusty or by the genes involved in Tri-color Mottleds. I am guessing the person you got the poults from also has Bourbon Reds which would account for the red color gene.

Thanks. It's okay if they're not pure, I would have purchased anything except for broad-breasted.

I'm thinking orange and yellow are male, and the rest may be female looking at their weight trends here. This is an interesting experiment I attempted also. I made my predictions in my poults at 1 week of age and will see how accurate my initial predictions were once I can positively sex them based on phenotypical appearance as they mature. They are all wing banded for identification.
