grracee Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Might be a possibilty that i may hatch some chicks sometime soon, poss some Orps. I've read before on a few websites that they are quite a hard breed to sex. I was just wondering whether the feather sexing still works with that breed on the day olds? Might be a stupid question but hey! As I hatched some light sussex X marans last year and had 4 out of 6 hatch and feather sexed them to find i had all four being cockerals, and it turned out they all were!

grracee Posted February 10, 2010 Author Share Posted February 10, 2010 Thanks Yeh, I know what you mean about doing it at the right time. Last time I hatched I feather sexed them then the next day you wouldn't have been able to tell the difference! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
