I'm tryin gto learn how to sex chickens. I've been reading about saddle feathers, hackle feathers etc. My roos have finally developed a good showing of saddle feathers at around 17 weeks. They have started crowing and have spur buds. What do you look for before the obvious rooster sign show up to tell them apart? I know there are breed characteristics but are there some general guidelines as well?
