I'm having a real freak out that all my birds are boys (except for my layers) Mind you I do need a cockeral and a welsummer would be nice.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12714465956677938724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6618794000958505305.post-84711380693626104922009-09-13T10:34:08.660+01:002009-09-13T10:34:08.660+01:00Second pic down looks like a boy, depending on age...Second pic down looks like a boy, depending on age. Boys develop combs and wattles earlier, so same goes for the one at the back of the third photo - if they're all around the same age? <br /><br />Are the red-black ones Welsummers? If so, any trace of black on the chest means they are boys. I only know this because I've got two Welsummer chicks and am frustrated that both turned out male; with the other breeds we've hatched, this our first year and last for breeding chicks for at least another year or two, have managed to throw up at least one hen per breed!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
