Hi
I hatched out some chicks 3 weeks ago, I got 3 Lavendar Araucana and 4 Black Copper Marans. I was looking to just take a peek at their wing feathers, as they have grown quite a lot of wing feathers and starting to grow in other places. I have seen that an M shaped wing, or 2 steps, indicates a female, whereas a single curve indicates male. I was happy when 3 marans had an M shape and one did not. But then the araucana all had the same single curve. Is it too early to tell still? I've seen threads saying Araucana are hard to sex but just wondering about other people's experiences with both of the breeds... Thanks
