Mainly because of their antics. They aren't supposed to be swimming in there...but they don't care. It was fun watching them make whirlpools.
Skill builder Week 6. And I promise not to complain (much) if you guess boy.

I hope you're keeping track of which guesses are mine. At the end of this, you'll probably want to toss them out as 'the nut who had no clue what he was doing and is throwing off my project.' But, here they are anyway:

I used IQbirdtesting and used blood. I just cut the nail a tad short and dabbed a couple of drops onto paper. Then dabbed with a clotting powder. It was really easy. I imagine easier than feathers since you have to get several!Gina, any word on the DNA results? Did you send the hatched eggs / pull feathers / drops of blood? Which company did you use?
I'm starting to think that I might be best off to do DNA testing for mine. I think it'll be easier for the kids to know sooner if we have to get rid of anybody. Plus, I'd hate to have to scramble to get rid of a crowing rooster. I also have a 7-week old easter egger that I'd like confirmation that she's a pullet. So, I could do both at the same time.
@charlotte-and-the-bees which company did you use? Did you do feathers/blood?
The idea of getting blood out of them will be rough. I'm thinking feathers might be easier. But is it really?
