I just picked up 3 little SLW from a friend.. We are so excited... I "think" based on coloring.. we have 2 hens and a roo BUT.. is there any way to really tell (feather sexing??) or is it like the RIR and NHR.. time will tell.. LOL

SO excited and once I get my camera battery charged.. photos will be up!

How old are they? That will make a difference on what to look for on them.

You can't tell that young from their coloring. Usually the first way to tell is when the little roos combs start showing red.

Ooh.. I have 8 SLW, and noticed the other day that one has a particularly bright red comb while all the other girls have more pink.. I'm guessing I've got a roo on my hands... hmm.. he is 9 weeks and no crowing yet.. Any thoughts?

Pictures always help, but bright red at that age definately equals a roo.
