Re: sexing a chicken

There's a way called 'Vent Sexing AKA Venting' but it's a bit disgusting!
It's literally squeezing the feces out of them which opens up the anal vent slightly, then a small bump will appear if its a male!

Hope that helped!

Yuk, think we will wait until they either start laying or crowing. My husband bought some 10 week olds last week from Melton Mowbray & we aren't sure what they all are

i always think about it when i go there but when i was younger we went to market and bought a rabbit,well we say a rabbit as that was in the second cage along.....
What we actually bought was the billy goat kid in the second cage down

Good job a friend of ours had a farm.

Very careful when i go to any markets now
