just a question...maybe Kathy can help here, maybe others....as I had posted, I have 10 very healthy lively and yes, lovely Welsummer chicks on the go...but I have this shuddering fear that I have a majority of cockerels...nothing to substantiate that, its just a sense of gloom..lol....anyone have a sure fire way of sexing them ..they are a little under month old...tia

Hi Tom. How old are they?
I only know how to determine gender of Welsummers at day 1-2. Sorry. But @WLLady is the best person to help out when it comes to Welsummers.

@TomK You have pics at day old right?

I do have a crappy pic at day old...but it's got the red glow of heat lamp ..so not all that helpful

Welsummer girls have very heavy eyeliner and dark well defined brown chipmunk triangles on their heads. The boys have a wussy triangle that is less crisp on the outline and much less eyeliner. Sorry didnt see your post till just now....if you post the pic even with the heatlamp i may be able to give it a guess

Here is the pic @WLLady

So the birds with the purple dots (that are actually blue if i believe my program - NOT) should be boys.
of course i could be wrong....LOL

well 3 for ten is a respectable division..let's hope you are close to right, @WLLady
