I was reading on here how some breeds can be sexed by different attributes, and feathers being one of them. I purchased 20 Buff Orpington chicks a while back and they're now about 4 weeks old and I was told by the breeder that although this was a straight run, most would be hens. So I'm noticing now that 5 of them still have more of a fluffy butt tail, and the other 15 have noticeably long tail feathers. I'm also noticing the fluffy butts have shorter feathers on their wings.
Are we able to use this information to effectively sex my chicks?
