Sexing baby bourbon reds

Palms are one of the hardest to tell since they mature slower, on the palms look at the head and neck. The tom poults will go from fuzz to bare skin, the hens will have feathers on the back of the neck.

Thanks Steve. I will watch my new hatches. I have had RP for around 5 years now and they are so slow to mature I usually cannot tell until they get distinct male and female features.

The best way is you vent sex them, it's not hard at all but you need to know what you are looking for.

Wow, I never knew about the white lacing thing. That sure is a subtle edging though. I'll be checking my week-old poults in a couple of weeks, hopefully. Thanks Steve!
