Hi,
We purchased two sexed female Blue Favaucana day old chicks from MyPetChicken (10 total). They’ll be 2 weeks old tomorrow so I understand it’s quite early to sex them. However, I’ve noticed one has significant tail feather development and the other has zero tail feathers. We specifically paid to have them sexed because we have two small kids who are growing attached to them. They’re family pets for our small backyard flock. I’m hoping they’re both female. What are your thoughts? I’ve read tail sexing is pretty accurate when dealing with the same breeds.
Chick #1 tail feathers. Quite obvious.
Chick #2 no tail feathers- same breed- same hatch and shipment date.
