Sexing Dominique Babies

[Ted_Harrell]

I recently hatched 5 Dominique chicks, and 3 have white spots on their head and two do not. The two that do not also have darker coloring on their legs. Hopefully this means that I have 2 baby girls?

Can you post pictures of both parents and the chicks?

 

[Chickassan]

Show us those baby legs really good too!

I am hoping the top pic is a girl and the bottom a boy, I will try to get pics of the legs this afternoon...

I can't wait! Such little cuties.

Chickassan, I used to live in Boiling Springs,SC, and I worked in Greer. Been through Greenville a few times

Pure bred dominiques don't work that way. Since both male and female are barred, they'd both have the head spot. So the ones without a head spot are something else. Or a mix.
Gonna have to see what feathers out on this, but it makes me concerned that the ones with head spots are mixes as well.

Thank you sir, I was trying to apply what I new about Barred Rock legs to Dominiques.

Were both parents Dominiques? As
@Frazzemrat1 said, if they're pure bred Dominique they should all have a white spot, both male and female.
So... idk.
