Update on possible rooster!

[Micmac1234]

I posted the other day about a chick having slow feather growth and there was suspicion that “she” is a “he”... I wanted to post an update because the more I look at Daisy’s wings, the more I am convinced Daisy is a Duke still no tail feathers and they are looking very “L shaped”.

It is hard to tell with the red light, what breed is the chick?

They are Golden Laced Wyandotte’s!

So, I've used the wing sexing method, but it's not reliable. Wing shape means NOTHING unless they are a day old strait.

I pick autosexing and or, sex linkable breeds. Like welsummers or red sex links.

Plus, does he stand more upright and erect than the others? Males stand more upright while pullets are more slouched.

Oh interesting! These chicks are supposed to all be the same age but this one definitely has the least amount of feathers.

That chick is too young to tell anything with visual clues

Honestly, no. This one is the least friendly and definitely not the most assertive. I didn’t know when that started... these are my first chicks ◡̈ they are maybe 2 weeks old ish.
