We are having great hatches this spring - PICS :)

[Megan Amber]

Ya me too. No matter how many times people explain it to me I just don't see the differences in the feathers!

I plan to take the time to examine the sex links wings closely.... IF i know which is the male and female by color then maybe that will help me see which is which...?

 

[Megan Amber]

Ahhh. Dum dum me didn't even think of that! Pretty good idea!

Only certain breeds are able to be feather sexed.

 

[Megan Amber]

Oh I didn't know that! That would probably explain a lot! What breeds are they?

 

[cmfarm]

You need to have the fast feathering gene mixed with the slow feathering gene.

My inner Scientist says OHH Cool and my Inner idiot say's WHAT? lol Thanks!

 

[MIKE555444]

The hatcheries seem to sex any breed and will ship you all females or males... I'm not sure what there method are. In you tube videos of hatchery sexing they always seem to be feather sexing. Whatever the case its not a easy vocation to learn
