Egluntyne Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 For comparison, here are some 4 week old Pekins that I hatched a couple of years ago. They are all girls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I would say boys too but others who have replied are much more experienced at this, I am a novice at sexing chicks. Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I'm pretty sure that we are not. It is always best to have a clear plan about what you intend to do with any male hatchlings before you embark on hatching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kittyl Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 don't you folks think the lightest coloured one could possibly be a girl? it seems t have a smaller comb than the other 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
