sexing chicks (I know been done)

[aart]

x2. I recall someone on the forum recently who tried something like this and the chick died from it.

Yes, I think they were holding them by the head.

I have always used the feather sexing method it they font know but in real young chicks it might not work as good i have done that way for years and got about 80 to 90% right every time
