what is the easiest way to sex houdans?

[ma2babygurl13]

I have some almost 12 week old Houdans, is there an easyish way to attempt to sex them? Any specific characteristics or traits I should look for?

Wait. LOL

Seriously though...it took me about 4 months before I was sure on the sexes...you can see wattles under the beards of the roos and then saddle feathers pretty soon, too...The males will sometimes have a less round crest, too.

waiting is just soo hard LOL! We wont have to make a decision on the "keepers" until late September, so hopefully I can tell by then.

Yeah, you should be able to tell by then!

You can tell by sending them to me

But the crest is usually more wild in males.
