Its really hard to tell on a rose comb i just try to look for the darker red combs. Sometimes you can tell by the tail feathers. Most times you have to wait till they dtart crowing i know thats no help. My guess 20 weeks.

Okay thanks! I figured that was the case. It's just killing me not knowing if hes blue, black, or splash!!!

Huh, I'm going to test that theory when I hatch some....

My little splash? is looking kinda ruff. Everyone else is almost feathered out.

They say you can tell the gender by looking at the egg. Pointed=rooster and rounded =hen

"How to tell a hen from a rooster" at 2 months old. The first chick is a SLW. The rest of the video covers different breeds but interesting.

I don't really know what to make of a lot of the theories on sexing chicks and eggs out there. I think they are what Gail Damerow calls ''screwpot notions'' to be honest.

I have a few extra Lavender Wyandottes that I want to offer for sale when they are 15 weeks old. What price should I ask for them? Thank you
