DistlDgu ishing the Sex In Fowls.


From the American Field.
Many are puzzled to distinguish the ser
Of geese, ducks, and guineas. This dis
tinction in many birds is designated by
the plumage, but where both are exactly
alike there is some difficulty oftentimes in
telling the male from the female. The
male Of domestic fowls is always the largest
and strongest bird, and in colored plu-
mage has the darkest, highest, richest color.
The male has the strongest, neatest form,
and possesses the swiftest flight. With
the partridge cochins and brown leghorns,
birds similar In plumage, the cocks ore
rich colored birds, With jet-black breasts,
and possess q neck, saddle, and back that
the common observer would term red,
while beside them the hens are tame and
sober of dress. Notwithstanding the uni
formitv OF plumage in ducks, there are dis
tinguishing marks to be depended on. The
drake is thu larger bird, and, as in geese
also the male has the longest neck and
the more upright carriage. The white gan
der il bold, and has lonper: aatter head.
The goose has a shorter neck, carries it
lower, is meeker, more quiet and humble
in aspect, with shorter legs, a thicker, short
en-, lower body, and is entirely subservient
to her mGte. There Is msrked difference
about the eyes. The gander's are bright
and piercing, and can gaze at the sun with.
out flinching. The difference Of sex is
noticed more than any other one thing in
the movement and carriage, as We Il as size
and neatness Of form. The principal
difference is about the head. With turkeys
the difference in sex may be observed at
six weeks, the males beginning to shoot
tho red, and put on airs in imitation of the
sire. Common chicks may be designated
at ten days, OK two weeks at the furthest,
the pullets being easily selected from the
BOOSTERS.
