uh... hopefully that works, I haven't even set up that part of it yet. LOLGreat job!I registered and am just waiting on the confirmation email to show up. Let me know if I can help.
good luck getting an answer! I asked how to sex SFH as I am new to the breed & have 6 chicks that are 3 weeks old. I was completely ignored. Sorry I can't help you.This is my basque/swedish flower hen. It was hatched on June 21st. I think that it's going to be a roo. What do y'all think? For a while, I thought it had the crest from it's mother, but I don't know for sure anymore. I think probably not now. Please forgive all of the fermented feed on it's feathers. They really get into the ff.
3 weeks is a bit young to be able to sex SFH, or a bit old, depending on how you look at it. Some people have good luck feather sexing them at 3 days old. You can try posting pics (good side head shots) when your birds get to be 6-7 weeks old and we will try to give you our best guesses, but lots of times that's exactly what they are at that point - guesses. The crested ones can take longer to be sure. Usually by 10-11 weeks you will know on all of them. What you want to be looking for is definite wattles coming down - the pullets don't get wattles (more than a sliver) until they are getting close to POL. also, on the crested ones, roos will have spiky crests and the pullets crest feathers will be more rounded. I hope this helps.
