Determining Gender in Brown Red Chicks
Beth C:
Very interesting! I'll play. The chick I said screams male has pink middle toes, but just the middle ones.
Mike Gilbert:
I am thinking female on the last one of the four and the first three males, but can't be sure on account of the possibility of camera flash affecting the shade of darkness on the shanks. But again, I'm not betting the farm on it.
Sharon Yorks:
I noticed that one of the blue chicks I hatched a few days ago has a black spot on its head. Does anyone know what it is or why it shows up? This is the first chick out of Reba (blue) and she was breed to a blue rooster.
Birdcrazy:
Sharon, Just looking at your 2 pictures I would say the chick looks like a Splash, not a Blue. Maybe the lighting in the picture is fooling me, but that would be my guess.

You kind of had me wondering, but nope, she's a blue. This was taken today at 24 days old.
