SEXING CHICK'S EXPERIMENT.

[NatJ]

I think they all look like cockerels now.
If these are your favorite 6 of 16 chicks, then they could easily be cockerels: those little fellows have a real knack for becoming favorites.

If you've still got the other 10, it is quite likely that some of them are pullets. (Because 16 chicks being all cockerels is really quite unlikely--something like one in a million odds.)

Oh, these all have the same mother?
In chickens, the mother determines the gender of the chick.
I have read that some hens have mostly sons, and others have mostly daughters.
So you might have a hen that does produce mostly sons

If the hen lays that well, you may want to breed one of her sons to your other hens, to see if you can raise more great layers.

Yes they all have same mother and father.. I collected her eggs carefully for six days..well I cross fingers for at least 2 hen's..I will update in week so we will be more sure them.thank for your advice to keep one Boy.. I love my hen breed because she is excellent layer and if I butcher her she also have lot of meat.. that's all I want good dual purpose breed.

Four is a probable pullet, the others are cockerels.

Not big surprise when I sexed them at begining only 2 and 4 I sort as female, two isfor me still questionable because other COCKERELS have pink comb and NBR 2have big comb but yellow/white also other COCKERELS have developed wattles and nbr2 don't so I gave nbr two few MORE weeks..
