Barnvelder Chick Sexing

[newrivergeorge]

Hello again all,

I have purchased 5 Barvelder chicks that are supposed to be females, however one of them is a totally different color scheme. 4 of them are the darker color with a lighter head and one of them is lighter with a darker head. Is this just a random color scheme or could this one be a male? Or could I possible have 4 rooster and a female?!?

Either way they will be loved the same, just curious if this difference is plumage is due to sex.

Thanks again!

It likely just a different breed.

×2 A different color variety or maybe a mixed up chick that's not a Barnevelder. You can also tell the boys and girls apart by their wings. A girl has two rows or feathers at different lengths and a boy has all of the growing in feathers at the same length.
