Me too. How old are they?

Not sure of exact age, but I think they hatched at the end of may.

Well she does look nice so far. But it does take longer to really tell. So far so good though

Is it just me or does it take everyone a while to sex these guys? I have jubilees and gold laced and ill tell ya what I'm having a hard time with it and they're 5-6 weeks old!

Funny thing about them, some you can tell right away and some just take a while to know. Can't wait to see the pics though.

I find the blacks very difficult to guess their gender. They allow you to see type much easier, though. With the GL I seem to go ADD with the ground color and lacing and forget to look at the whole bird :0(

I have raised so many jubilees that I can tell gender pretty young by the way they are feathering in.

I have problems with blacks too. The black on black have tiny combs.
