sexing day olds...SLW and BBS

[slickchick]

Is there a way to sex day old chicks of these breeds? SLW, and BBS..

BBS whats? BBS is a color, not a breed. You cannot sex them as day olds, other than the vent sexing, which is a real art, I understand.

I thought you could stretch out their wings and look at it that way.


(I hate to admit that I learned that on the How It's Made thing that someone posted.)

That only works with chicks that are specifically bred to be sexed that way. You have to breed a slow feathering chicken to a fast feathering chicken to be able to wing sex them.

Okay. Now I get it!
