Hi all,
My RIR chicks are 4 weeks old now. I was hoping I'd be able to tell what they were by now, but I can't! Are there any sure-fire tips on male vs. female traits that I could look for? They are absolutely identical except one has a red tip on its beak and the other doesn't.
My black silkies are about 10 weeks old now and I think we'll be re-naming Rosie to something else, as she has dark red wattles and Petunia doesn't. Does this make "her" a male? She's smaller in size than Petunia and I was hoping for 2 females, but this will still be fun.
Thanks to anyone who can shed some light!
