. Look at the RIRs what are the genders, if I'm not mistaken, don't the colors tell?

I just ordered 6 RIR RC Bantams from Duane Urch. I was told by a certified judge that he had the nicest RIR's in the country. They aren't coming until early January though. I'm super excited!

Please post some pics when you get them...

I can tell and I have hatched a few. You got to wait till they are at least four to six weeks old then the males combs start to get larger and thats how I have done it.

Back yard chicken folks seem to have theirs going the year around for some reason. Never could figure that one out but do I know. Thanks for the pictures hope more will show up of adult birds. I have had quite a few orders for R I Red bantams started chicks and many orders for the Mohawk large fowl that we have down here.
Looks like this will be a very good year to promote Reds.

What age are these?

No, the colors don't tell and you can't tell the sex until they get a little bigger. The males combs will start showing first. Here is a picture of an experimental breeding I did but the same applies.


Here are some pictures of some of my Red Sex link chicks and my Heritage RIR chicks.

They look to me to be 2 to 3 weeks old. In another 2/3 weeks you may be able to tell.

If the black ones are BSL's the males will have a white spot on top of their head and the females won't.
