I am going to be intersted to see what they look like when the true feathers come in.<BR/><BR/>Until they were born, I had no idea what colour they were going to be either.<BR/><BR/>I thnk some of the yellowness one expects is simply conditioning.<BR/>The colour can depend on the breed as well as the sex. In some chickens such as Black Rocks, the males are a different colour than the females at birth, making it easy to cull the unwanted roosters.<BR/><BR/>I have not yet sexed my ducklings. As a general rule of thumb drakes have curly tailfeathers.Michelle Styleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03400990189443593076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11101950.post-1115637332566412682005-05-09T12:15:00.000+01:002005-05-09T12:15:00.000+01:00Pamela - I thought they'd be yellow balls of fluff...Pamela - I thought they'd be yellow balls of fluff too!
