sexing meaties?

[bucklev]

Does anybody know how the hatcheries sex cornishx.just curious if it is feather or vent?

Through the wing feathers... Males have even feathers straight accross... females have jagged feathers accross.

Very easy and accurate....

No I don't think so... it's when your cross a fast feathering male to a slow feathering female. It could be with any bird..... However I may be wrong on the sex... I'm not big on genetics but know some stuff!

Some strains of CornishX are feather sexable. Most sold at Townline are.
