Here’s a comparison of a hen vs. a rooster at 11 days old. This was filmed a few years back, and this method was correct for these birds. They are speckled Sussex. I’ve been doing this for years with my chicks and have had an 80% success rate. Disclaimer: this does NOT work on all breeds. This does not work on silkies. But, it’s a safe method to get a general idea of what you may have. #chickens #chicken #poultry #theeastonhomestead #homesteadlife #homestead #homesteader #farmer #backyardchicken
