Sexing 11 week old Chicks. RIR Rusty and Acme, a Jersey Giant

UPDATE - Rusty is the first of my 7 Pullets to lay - and she has laid for 3 days in a row, about every 24 hours! She has had bright red Comb and Wattles since week 8, and a loud and proud Egg Song! for the past month, without laying til this weekend, and usually performed from Perches in the play yard - as if she was a Roo. She's also the one to chase off a squirrel if needed, and will actually BARK like a dog at some machines or startle events. She got 2 others barking also today after they got their first Laying Hen food and crushed eggshell snack. She's giving the extra snacks and attention for being the one to teach the others how to lay in the Henhouse. Moral of the story...NEVER give up on a possible Cockerel too soon...esp a RIR! https://www.facebook.com/778573775/videos/pcb.10160210424003776/10160210421908776/
