Today I found a video on You-Tube on how to determine the sex of chicks by their wing feathers. This is much easier than the other method which you probably don't even want to hear about. They have to be about four days old for their wing feathers to be in. The hen feathers grow faster and are in two layers, a longer one and a shorter one. Top pic rooster. So Gramma and I checked them all and we're pretty sure we have five hens and one rooster. We are happy. The one we believe is a rooster is the one that we thought might be from the start as he is a little different in color. He has no white by the eyes and all the others do, and he is just slightly darker on his front and underside. So we will have to wait until their combs start growing to be totally sure, but it looks like we got lucky. We may have to put Frank in the freezer cause he has become a bit more aggressive lately. He attacked me from behind the other day and I had to give him a couple of good kicks before he quit. We have been circling around each other ever since and he hasn't done it again. I don't want to do it till after the B.R. kids get here so they can see him. Maybe we'll keep him in the coop while they're here. Hoping to try out the new boat tomorrow if it isn't too windy. Later.
