Cockerels, cockerels everywhere

 

[jocoda]

Really.... Gonna try to find on here the differences. They all look alike.. Surely a hen in there somewhere. Thanks!

 

[Ol Grey Mare]

See how the area say the top of the wings is solid white and how developed and pink the combs sand wattles are relative to their age?

 

[jocoda]

Yes. And that's the basics? Person local said pull the wing outward, if there's a row of short feathers on inner section at the top, it's a hen. May try that too. Thank u!

This person is referring to wing feather sexing...this is only accurate with chicks resulting from a cross of fast feathering and slow feathering patent lines and is done in the first three days after hatch.

This is my sl Wyandotte of the same age for comparison. Note my girls small pale comb.

 

[jocoda]

Thanks everyone. So interesting.

The black with feathered legs looks like a pullet- very pretty,
