Are the CLBs one of each ? I know nutink about sexing them, just wondered

They're autosexing so the males have a pale dot on their heads (which both have) but I'm not sure why they look so different

Both boys for now, but will have to wait + see what they turn out to be!

[Egluntyne]

They are very sweet. Congratulations.

[Plum]

So cute. Congratulations

I think your Araucana is a girl. Looks so different to what Poppet the cockerel looked like. Fingers crossed eh? I love the barred wyandotte!

Really?

Not had one before or seen many chicks, fingers crossed!

 

I know, mother calls them 'zebra chickens' so hoping its a girl too

[Lewis]

Cream Legbars:

 

Lavender Araucana (no comb yet + big wings - hoping for a girl):

 

Barred wyandotte:

Tiiiny wings - could that mean male?

[emmab]

They are just lovely!

[meezers]

Well I read that big wings= girl, small wings = boy, but I suppose it's in proportion to the chick?, the last chick looks a little smaller than the other one ? Doesn't help with my 3, I've got the 2 biggest chicks with wing feathers showing, but the one with none is the smallest chick anyway, so I'm just confused !

[The Dogmother]

It's hard to tell at that stage, I once tried using the wing feather technique and was wrong.

[Lewis]

Hope they're 2 girls then Clare

 

2 weeks old

All 4:

Lav araucana + Barred dotte (still little wings + chunky legs? ) :

Cream legbar boy:

[Redwing]

Hi Lewis

 

The barred dotte is a boy, its pretty clear now, sorry

[Lewis]

The barred dotte is a boy, its pretty clear now, sorry

I thought so too - not your fault

[Lewis]

3 week Update

 

The CLB's still look completely different - 2 boys

 

Barred Wyandotte

 

Lavender Araucana - still unsure of sex, hopefully the only girl

[The Dogmother]

That araucana looks girlie to me,, but they are usually late developers.

[Lewis]

Do hope so

[Mollie333]

I love the cream legbars!

[bessandra]

Your lav aracauna is gorgeous Lewis. I really want one of those!

[Lewis]

4 weeks old

CLB's

 

Lav Araucana - looking a bit red + boyish?

 

All 4 running

[Goosey Lucy]

No idea but they're lovely!

[Mollie333]

there stunning..

[Madchook]

I'm pretty sure your Ara is a boy. But I take back my bet on your legabars, haven't a clue now

[batcatz]

I think the lavender is a boy too from that standing still photo. Very long legs, upright stance, wings low etc. Looks different to hens I've seen at that age.

[Mollie333]

Oh dear Lewis.

Looks like you have 4 boys.

[Lewis]

Oh dear Lewis.

Looks like you have 4 boys.

7 if you count Hilarys!

Hard luck.
