Lewis Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Awww Just going my combs I'd say boy + girl too. Uber jealous! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falkor Posted May 2, 2010 Author Share Posted May 2, 2010 Just going my combs I'd say boy + girl too. I am basing this all on various methods. 1. Comb 2. Feathering of wings 3. stance 4. pick up and dangle. Japanese friend said if you pic up the chick and they leave legs down then boy and if they pick them up then girl - must work right!? I must sort some dinky leg rings so I can identify everybody and make a note of my sex guesses. Orps not a problem but the pekins all look very similar at the moment.

Chook n Boo Mum Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Ooooo very much worth the wait Em .............hope you are feeling tiptop again Does the hanging leg theory work for all breeds then Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Shirl Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Caught up with photo's of the new chickies at last. They are gorgeous, lovely, adorable. I think boy and girl too. How did you stop yourself from putting them in your pocket Cookie? was there a padlock or something? Like the dangling legs theory, wonder if it works. I suppose it must, when you pick up a cockerel the legs go down straight away, and hens pull their feet under them. Interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
