Hi everyone i have had my first season of breeding RFPF and are really happy with the results, both pairs first year birds producing 15 young ones.
Now the hard part trying to sex them. So i uploading some photos of the first 3 young ones that were born 2 week December 2015.
Any help sexing would be most appreciated. :thumbup:

I would stand by my assumptions as black line not going through the eye (hens) and amount of red on male way past eye as well....besides you have a 50/50 chance of being correct :think: ;-) I have been able to sex them by their tail feathers also....two central feathers are slightly rounder on the hen compared to cock bird.... :thumbup:
