What color?

No colors can really be reliably sexed until about three months old, and some colors even longer. Unless you want to pay to have them DNA sexed.

We are on a limited budget and can't afford dna testing.we have a indian blue and are going to see the chicks we don't know what kind they are yet

 

[witchling]

We wanted to get females that were 6 months or older but they were already sold
