pigeonforce Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 I have heard it is possible to tell the sex of a bird by pulling on its beak or head and judging the response? how does it work? Does it work? thankyou I read in Guy barrets book Racing pigeons, that Looking from the underside of the foot, lay the three toes straightly alongside each other. If the outside toe is longer than the inside one then the youngster is a cock. If the outside and inside toes are the same lenght, then the bird is a hen. The difference in lenght in the cocks is about one sixteenth of an inch. This method can be used with pigeons up to one month old, but after that can not be relied upon, as the feet alter in shape when the bird has been walking on them for some time Does anyone use this method, has it worked for you???? :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
