Griffin Posted May 26, 2009 Author Share Posted May 26, 2009 Oooh your brahmas look just like mine, don't you love those feathery legs. Any idea what to look for to sex them - there is something about head shape early on but haven't looked into it I haven't a clue, I can't even tell mine apart let alone hazard a guess at sexing them They've just started to get feathers on their backs at the top of their wings and they have tiny tails too. I assume perhaps the girls get feathered up quicker than the boys. I'll have to look into it and I'll let you know if I learn anything.

Yep the girls do feather up a lot faster than the boys and apparantly the boys will go black on, I think, their backs. You can pretty much tell by 5-6 weeks apparantly You might have all girls there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dame egna Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 How did I miss this?! Beautiful So will you be eating the silkies if they are boys? The farmer I got my chicks from told me they have black skin, so not very tempting when cooked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
