Yeah I completely agree with you.I suspected they were female. It was more for confirmation. I have been recording data on my chicks to see if certain indicators early on can help me determine gender. Weight at hatch seems to be a factor, everything else being equal (same parents for example). Behavior can be an indicator, but I do not find it to be reliable. The little Hanabi baby (this chick needs a name...), has the exact personality of her mother, which in any other chick would have me thinking male, but Hanabi was just like this as a chick personality wise.
If either had ended up being male, I would have to sell it as such.
I feel as a breeder, once you know the gender of your chicks, you can no longer sell them as "straight run". Integrity is important for your reputation, especially in a small community like mine. There are breeders on the mainland who sell "DNA guaranteed pullets" for quite a bit of money, upwards of $100 or more, and then give the males away for free or for very little. I have thought about doing this, though it would not really be cost effective and then you end up with a lot of extra boys. There are also only a handful of people I know of that would pay $100 for a chicken.
Such cuties!!! Satin silkies?Noodles!

How about, Hanabi and Ibanah!The little Hanabi baby (this chick needs a name...),
They're actually Silkie X Silver Sussex bantam crossesSuch cuties!!! Satin silkies?
Polkies or what breed?
So funny, I was thinking of what Hanabi was spelled backwards!How about, Hanabi and Ibanah!
My two now proven girls were play fighting yesterday!Yeah I completely agree with you.
Until the crow or an egg never have real confirmation of sex. I'm not going to do vent sexin and unless I am in luv and definitely gonna keep I'm not gonna pay for the DNA though it is good to know you had good results with IQ Bird Testing.
I'll definitely keep that on hand for next time I fall in luv!
I'm really unsure bout these 4 I have from you though...I removed the brooder plate to start weaning them off heat and the little blue has surprised me with its taunting of one of the paints! It has been so laid back and very shy til today!
Guess ya never know with these cuties!!!
