Ive been thinking about it constantly actually ;) If I go on the feathering theory it means I have 2 girls. Rita and Rose. They are both fully feathered between their shoulders.
If I go on the 1 day old wing feather theory I have one boy, Queenie although this should really just work for my wyandottes who showed as 3 girls.
If I think about stance and temperament I have 3 of each, Queenie, Minnie and Betty being bold and standing tall. Queenie and Minnie are the only ones who are interested in 'fighting' and no one is trying to crow yet. (5/12/11 today I caught Minnie trying to 'become a man' on her Mother!)
If we go by the watttle comb theory Betty is a boy.
Look at that wattle! and its so RED
Heres Minnie, no comb or wattles to speak of
Our sweetheart Rita. I would have thought a leghorn (who have extremely big wattles and cobs) would show early but you can only see a hint of a wattle in the top photo of her
Rose, only a peek of a yellow wattle there and a rose comb
and old Lulu the fusser, no comb and a hint of a yellow wattle, again, not much to speak of.
Queenie wasnt up for a photo today, It was
raining and I took these on the iphone.
Would love to see yours?
