Is anyone any good at identifying game chicks? I have four that came in a box of welsummer chicks I got at the auction about 3 weeks ago (so around 4 weeks old) they all look the same to me except the one I believe to be a roo. :confused: and yes, I was aware there were some obvious not welsummer chicks when I bought them, they were only a dollar each though so I figured what the heck 🤣🤷‍♂️

Not much can be determined about game chicks without knowing the lineage from the breeder. They are probably American games due to the leg color, and they are of typical coloring for games-- not far from Welsummers, in fact.

Best ways to tell gender are combs/wattles and also the coloring of the breast feathers. Salmon colored for females, black for males. Any black feathers or partially black feathers in that area now likely means male.
