what age to sex bantams

[MrsC]

I got 3 polish bantam chicks 1 week ago 5/6 weeks old. What age can you sex them at. Might be my imagination but 1 of them appears to have grown this week a lot more than the other 2. A lot taller, thicker legs and seems to be braver and sort of struts about. Could this be a cockeral?

Sounds like you have a boy there

[MrsC]

Thanks Maureen, not being very experienced at all thought it was my imagination. What age will I definitely know?

[MaureenHall]

When he starts to crow really. But cockerels combs and wattles grow a lot quicker than the pullets do, also, they're just "bigger" and with thicker legs

Perfect timing for Xmas!!!
