Red Dorking chicks!

[joyous]

Can you color sex Red dorking chicks like you do silver dorkings? I have 4 red dorking chicks and 3 have the dark chipmunk like striping and one is a little lighter and fuzzier.

Yes, you sex red dorkings using the marking on the head. Pullets have softer markings while males have a more distinct dark V or triangle.
