Hi
We are new to chicken keeping. We were given some eggs to hatch and now have 13 10 week old Brabanters, How do you decide what sex they are??

Thanks in advance

Have found with the SS Apps that the boys have less headgear as they are growing - touch wood, have been able to sex them at at young age :-)17
 
Silver spangled brabanters but with some birds showing distinct Columbian patterning, so this is probably a result of some experimental breeding one or two generations back. Combs look a bit suspect on some of these birds also, care needed in selecting what is bred from out the birds in photos.
