sexing chicks

[sandie44]

I saw a thread the last week that had a video on sexing chicks. She was sexing them by their feathers at 1-2 days old. Does anyone remember who this was or can pass the video back to me. I can't remember if the double layer of feathers is the cock or pullet.

I don't know anything about the video you seek, but double row of feathers is a pullet.

I still can't find it, but I remember two rows of feathers pullet and row rooster. The chicks can only be 2-3 days old.

Not sure if this helps any, but Mike Rowe from Dirty Jobs, had a segment on this. Go to YouTube, and search Mike Rowe Dirty Jobs Sexing chicks, and that will pull it up. It shows them doing the feathers.
