[RIR chicks]

This is Blaze. He/she is About a week old and is a Rhode Island Red. Is it a boy or girl? I think he/she is a boy, what do you think? If you need more pics tell me.

Much too young.

 

[The Happster]

Way too early. Keep us updated.

I can post a pic of Blaze and mother chick so that you can compare or/and contrast, the others are females I think. I heard you can tell by the wings or something like that between day 3-7.

Oh. I heard males have smaller wings. Also that a male has all long Feathers on the wings and females have long, short, long, short feathers.

That would be birds specifically bred for the trait of wing sexing. Most birds are not.
