fluffyknickers Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 (edited) Hi all, I organised for Living Eggs to supply my sons school with the incy and eggs etc and they came on Monday and so far this morning we have 9 chicks and one egg with a little beak pecking at it so its hopefully out now. They are totally gorgeous and I am in love! Photos will soon be on here for you all. What I keep getting asked is if they are boys or girls as so far we have 8 chicks with brown feathers and one (my favourite) who is a yellow fluffy thing (falls asleep in my hands tucks himself in my top!). I am really going to struggle to say goodbye to them but dont think I have the facility to keep any (a new WIR and a eglu with three chickens in it). Anyway so is brown girls and yellow a boy or other way round!?

Falkor Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Hi Michelle Do you know what breed they are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 It depends on whether they are autosexing, sex linked or neither I would have thought that the company would have told you if you could tell what sex they were on hatching as that would be a massive 'selling point' If they didnt I would assume that they are not autosexing or sex linked IF they are sex linked then yellow normally means boy and amber means girl if remember correctly If they are not sex linked then that logic goes out the window though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffyknickers Posted April 21, 2010 Author Share Posted April 21, 2010 Yes they can tell straight away as they let you keep the girls if you want. So i am guessing my fave little one is a boy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyChickenLover- Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Whoa! Living eggs is where I got my hens from too! The yellow ones are boys and the browner stripey ones are girls, so from what I can tell you have eight girls and a boy. ... but if you're not sure then whoever takes the incubator back will check for you . Hope that helped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
