Question for the Ga. Giant experts

[Bama Quail]

Right now I have 45 Ga. Giants about 9 weeks old. Is there a way to tell what sex they are right now, and when they start laying how often do they lay? egg a day? every other day?

For starters, I'm no expert ....... just a participant in their reproduction

You should start seeing the distinctive white (male) and golden (female) colors appearing about their head by 12 weeks. I"ve had ~17 hours of light on mine since mid March or so, and they haven't slowed down yet. Last year, I did the same all summer into Sept., and they slowed down just a teeny bit in mid July to mid August, but kept pumpin' em' out through Sept. That's with 26% Breeder Finishier along with 30% Starter thrown in every so regularly.

Thanks for the info. Like I said they are 9 weeks, so are they about half grown you think.

I raise a few Georgia Giants they are great birds, like Randall said pretty easy to tell soon the male will have a white mask and hen will have golden brown face.
