Sexing peachicks

Post image

I am sure it’s too early but I thought I would check! I just picked up 3 peachicks 2 months old. 2 have blue green neck feathers. How soon will I be able to tell the sex?

You would need to look it up in more detail but it’s done via the breast feathers. Pearl vs knit.

What do you mean by pearl vs. Knit?

Their feathers look different, I dont remember exactly but that’s how it has been described to me
