They’re looking nice!
Wing-sexing was 75% accurate this time, correct? (3 out of 4 sexed correctly.)

Out of the 4, which one is your favorite?

Thanks.
I think 99%, because 1 was sexed wrong. I'm not great with percentages either .

That would be the case if 1 out of 100 was sexed wrong (99 correct and 1 incorrect). 75 is 3/4ths of 100, so it would be 75%.

The buff and black barred cockerel. It’ll be interesting to see his color in the sun.

Okay, that makes sense.

What about my Barred Pullet?

He's gonna be culled, & not gonna be used, but I'll still get pictures as he grows.

Over the past 3 years of hatching project birds I've done small batches. All of which, except for 2 have been sexed correctly.
Just wondering what the percentage would be total.

Batch 1: Sexed correctly. 4 chicks

Batch 2: Sexed correctly 2 chicks

Batch 3: 1 sexed wrong, 4 chicks

Batch 4: sexed correctly, 2 chicks

This year's batch: 1 sexed wrong, 4 chicks.

I’m guessing she may grow up to look buff barred, if that’s what you’re asking. But it’s just a guess so far.

Are you only going to be using the pullets?

My Barred Pullet, breast feathers.

Yep, only using the pullets.

The brown cockerel has at least 1 copy of Db, so I'm not using him. I'm not using the Barred cockerel, since I'm not quite ready to include Heritage Plymouth Barred Rock into the genetics yet. Use of the Heritage Plymouth Rocks is better barring, better tail shape, & angle.

Funny that you always hatch groups of four or two.
This doesn’t include any chicks that, for example, died before you could confirm their sex or weren’t able to be wing-sexed?

The total would be 16, with 14 sexed correctly and 2 sexed incorrectly. I’m going to use a calculator for this.

87.5%! That’s pretty high.

Not including dead ones, only live ones.

The number would be higher if I included the meat birds I hatched last year. 4 cockerels, & 6 pullets. 2 cockerels died from mycotoxicosis, they ate spoiled moldy feed in the feeder.

I do big hatches occasionally when I have space for the extra birds. But usually not project birds.
