Just get them DNA'D If they are not an easy species to sex visually.I dont use it not accurate for me.

Don't apologise Ruthie ..This is nothing new , not many of us dare challenge around here so I usually cop it for having an opinion...water off a ducks back .

I agree DNA is the only sure way however I use the string thingy usually as I said in conjunction with other factors like head size , colour etc for my own flock which I am not selling ..
