Truth or myth

[taprock]

I was told if you see a chick tuck it's head under it's wing it's a pullet. Any truth to it? I think I have a roo but he's tucking his head.

I don't think so. I have a young roo who sleeps with his head under his wing.

I see pullets/hens sleep like that more often, but I've had roo's do it too...
I dunno...maybe there is some truth to it.
Like...not always a pullet, but most often?

I think it's a myth but at the very least, unreliable. All of my chicks tucked and one is now obviously a cockerel.

Put it in water & if it floats, it's a ,...... wait...... that's eggs.

Nevermind.
