How to tell the difference between male and female chicks? You can tell whether the chicks are male or female by looking at their wings [Science and Technology Garden]

The male and female chicks need to be identified when they first hatch out of the shell. The traditional identification method is to turn over the anus. This method can easily cause damage to newborn chicks. Professor Du Bingwang of Guangdong Ocean University took the lead in breeding the fast-feathering and slow-feathering lines of imperial concubine chickens with stable genetic performance and homozygous genotypes, and established a dual commercial matching line of fast-feathering and slow-feathering imperial concubine chickens for rare birds. With this matching system, male and female can be identified by observing the length of the primary and secondary wing feathers on the wings. In this way, not only the identification speed is fast, but also the survival rate of the chicks can be improved.
