Title: sexing Vorwerk chicks?
Post by: Micki on June 20, 2011, 12:19:08 pm

Is there any difference with Vorwerk chicks that you can sex them with. i have had 2 chicks hatch on Saturday  ;D and one is darker then the other so i was just wondering if it meant anything? Not too bothered weather you can or not was just interested really   :chook:.

Look at their little wing feathers - all the same length and short-ish = cockerel, very obviously alternate different lengths = pullet. Confirm this as they feather up, the girls will grow their tails sooner.

Thanks for the replies. I will look at the wings later and see if there is any difference between them  ;D.
