Redwing Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 You could find someone who has birds that produce sex linked offspring too Light Sussex x Rhode Island Red is a popular cross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meezers Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Hi Anne was wondering when you'd go broody again They're not auto sexing, but what about salmon faverolles? you'd know in 1 - 3 weeks if they were boys or girls, and if you were planning on keeping the boys for the table again, I've read that they are good to eat ( and the girls are sooo cuddly ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abwsco Posted June 9, 2010 Author Share Posted June 9, 2010 Thanks Tasha and Ali, LOL at me going broody again. She's been in the nest box all day whilst I've been at work as DH hadn't chucked her out! Am still pondering the idea. Ali, have you any updated pics of yours?

meezers Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I have photos taken at 2 weeks, but I was going to wait and post at 3 weeks. I'm hoping that in the next 2 days the black will disappear from Dilberts' wings and he'll magically turn into a girl Dilbert is what I've nicknamed the little one I helped to hatch. He's still alot smaller than the other 2 but his wings are 50% black, so I'm pretty certain he's a boy. Just my luck - when he was stumbling around not able to stand I didn't want to cull him incase he was a girl ! The other favvie chick is much bigger and 'her ' wings are mostly biscuit coloured, I'm really hoping I've got it right and she's a girl. Again, I'm delaying posting pics incase someone says ' 2 boys ' The silke is just a mess of tufty feathers sticking out at all angles , very cute.
