I live in the Philippines. The brother of one of my house helpers gave me 6 1 day old poults. I sexed them then using the leg hanging or not technique and think I have 3 Tom's and three hens. They are now about 8 weeks old and I can't tell which ones looked like toms or hens, (I guess I should have marked them). Anyway of the 6, 3 are staying white, and 3 are starting to grow black feathers. I am going to give a pair to my wife's parents up in the mountains. Is it safe to assume the white ones are hens and the ones starting to grow black feathers are Tom's? All help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
