Hi all,
I bought three BLRW well-started straight run chicks on 8/18 from a local breeder and can't tell the gender on any of them. Can you help?
I thought the two larger, darker ones might be cockerels, but then I looked at other wyandotte photos on this forum and it appears the hens have rather pointed hackle feathers, so maybe I can't ID them that way?? The two darker ones are larger and taller than the gray one, and one darker one has bigger wattles than the other. Other than that...
Here are a few photos I took today. These little guys are hard to get to pose!
Thanks!
