Posted April 25, 201312 yr Hi All, wondering if anyone can give me advice of possible sex of two new babies, first is 15 days old and second is 13 days old, pics hopefully attached. Dad is a opaline grey & mum a spangle opaline grey. 15 day old looks like dad and 13 day old looks like a albino. Mum and dad's previous two were both albino's, a hen and a cock with very very light tinges of blue on chest & wings. thanks http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/Sherlock55/201342515days01Mod-http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/Sherlock55/201342513days04Mod-Copy_zpsfef3c5cb.jpg 15 day old picture did 11 photo of 15 day old did not attach for some reason http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/Sherlock55/201342515days01Mod-Copy_zpsf6787887.jpg
April 26, 201312 yr your albino has to be a hen as its a sex linked gene and passed father to daughter since Mum isnt albino. Makes dad split albino other chick looks female as well
April 26, 201312 yr Author thanks Kaz & Vargur. Previous three chicks were Albino (one did not survive), a hen (Hedwig) that I kept & the other (Milkshake) I gave my sister who tells me it is now talking. I thought that as an Albino it also had to be a hen, hoping to get photo's to post re sex ID, I have heard that hens can talk ? but not that common, any advice on this ? thanks
April 28, 201312 yr Hens can talk...there are a few on you tube ( ignore the recessive pied they say is a hen but is a cock ) ........the fact that everyone says hens cant talk is why noone usually bothers to try and encourage them too
