Hi, I've recently got 2 baby chicks from a guy who owns an incubator. I specifically asked him to give me 2 pullets, but as I started to read specifically about Plymouth Rocks' sex differences, I became super worried that this baby could be a rooster in the future. I love roosters, but I can't have more hens and I'm afraid it could be dangerous for the other baby chick, who is supposedly a New Hampshire hen (and the Internet hasn't really made me doubt about her so far. But it really made me doubt about the Plymouth).
I wanted to know how accurate is Plymouth's sexing method that's about "spot on the head, color of the wings, color of the legs"? The chick is about 12 days old.
You can't see the legs in the picture I'll be posting but they're lighter than what I saw on the web for females... Still he/she has some black spots on them so IDK. It's really driving me crazy because I can't keep him if he's a rooster... :'(
