Autosexing - exhibiting different characteristics between the two sexes at hatch. This trait breeds true from generation to generation.
For the purposes of this thread, characteristics should be limited to down color so that anyone with an untrained eye can still get it right.. Sorry guys, I'm excluding common breeds such as Barred Plymouth Rock. You may offer other types of autosexing (feather sexing) as an alternative only. Your primary offer should be based on down color.
