Sniffer Dog to Sex Chicks?? What do You Think?

I'm thinking perhaps chicks would emit volatile chemical trails distinct to their gender type... that would be a very nice experiment!
They probably do. I think their moms know what sex they are and treat them differently. I couldn’t believe how quickly one of our hens last spring weaned her singleton chick. By 4 weeks, on its own. It turned out to be a cockerel. But that doesn’t prove anything yet. I’ll have to let her raise more this year and see if she treats the girls the same.....
