Just an update 2 are 7 weeks old and 1 is 3 weeks old. So far the auto-sexing seems true. After 24 hours that is. The whiter ones are roos and the golden tone ones are pullets. We have a couple more hatching in 5 days from a different stock. If their colors come out to match the sex then I believe the breed is a true auto sexing breed after 24 hours from hatch.

Such pretty birds!
 
Appreciate everyone. I now know there is a lot of unknowns regarding this magnificent breed so we figured we would share as we learn. We have heard they are very docile and the roo Ding-Ding has proven that to be true. Comes when you call his name, very calm, lets you pick him up. Almost like having a dog lol. Hopefully he stays that way as he matures.
