Krysia Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Hi Our chicks are growing fast and are 3 months now so we are looking at despatching a few for the table (as was always the intention for the boys) Tonight we have been out and had a good look at them but they all (well 11/13 Have what looks like the starting of spurs. (there is a bud like growth) do only males have these or are they something totally different? Any advice is welcome, and needed. 1 is definitely a boy as we saw him crowing yesterday! BUT when we posted pics of them hatched we had a few comments about 2 being cream legbars girls but they seem to have this growth too! thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronze Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 I wouldnt go with the bud thing as a sexing all mine seemt o have this. Spurs dont tend to grow until a lot lot later. I've found posting pics on here tends to be the best way of sexing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will see how we go! thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feemcg Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 What breeds are they? Why don't you post 1 or 2 of the ones you think are girls and the same for boys and we'll see if we think the same? (rather than posting 13 pics). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Try the pekinbantams.com forum Krysia - they are very accurate at sexing on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
