jam Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Hi all, My chicks are a week today. when will I be able to sex them and how can you tell the difference between sexes? My chicks are buff orpingtons, pekins and a frizzle. Is it possible to sex millefleur pekins by their feathering, because I have three chicks, Two of them are mostly a blond colour with a bit of light brown on their backs but the other is mostly a dark brown/black colour. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Pekins are easy to sex, you should know within a month My Orp was a nightmare, it took six months! apparently if you have a few its easier to tell them apart The feathering colour on the Milles wont give you a clue but girls do feather up on their backs quicker than boys so that does give you a clue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
