Sexing Araucana Chicks

[MysteryChicken]

Sorry to be asking on another members thread, but what does patenting have to do with anything?

The patterning is what gives the hint at gender. The Duckwing coloration is gender specific, males being black Breasted, while females have salmon.

I'm only talking about the silver chick with black breasts since it's the best example I have.

Hi Everyone. So down to the last three. They are now ~11 weeks. I think the first two are pullets and the last a rooster. It's the tail and neck feathers that make me suspicious - the crest doesn't seem to obvious. I have a new home lined up for rooster, but was keen on your thoughts before I send him off.

Agree with you. It’s the tail that’s giving him away . Shame cause he is a really cool looking bird
