Easy way to tell male from female chicks?

It is usually a simple matter to pick out males at about a month old. They sport much larger and brighter head furnishings and are usually far more precocious than their sisters. With heavy breeds it is sometimes easy to determine the pullets by their faster and more even rate of feathering. Males feather more slowly and in a more patchy manner (but this is not always the case with some strains). The best method therefore, is by observing the chicks behavior. Startle the chicks by sailing a hat or similar object over their heads and watch their reactions. The cockerels will instinctively stand erect with their heads upright and will emit a peculiar warning chirruping sound. The pullets will tend to crouch down low and remain silent. The other methods of sexing chicks are not as reliable for novice breeders are as good as guessing.

Is a female chicks yellow?

No. all chicks do not start out yellow. The chicks you see in advertising pictures and in magazines are photographed more often for a number of reasons. The yellow balls of fluff are cuter than a mottled brown/ white or all black chick. More distinguishable as the "chick" the general public expects to see. The majority of chicks hatched in spring (Easter) by hatcheries are of a certain breed (a cross between a Plymouth rock and a leghorn) and usually used for meat production. A bit ironic that the advertising media has chosen the cute photogenic chick with the shortest lifespan for an icon.

After a egg has hatch do you remove the male parakeet if it is pecking the baby parakeet?

Yes you do if the male is being violent to the chicks. Especially if the female is being disturbed by the male or trying to defend the chicks. Get the female together though in the male's cage once and awhile so the couple will not forget about eachother, but do that a few days, (maybe 2 weeks) after the chicks have hatched. Depends on the age of the chicks. If they are out of the nest, pecking at them is natures way of weaning them to eat on their own. If they are very young, I would put male in a cage setup right next to the female, so he can continue to feed her through the bars. The female depends a lot on the male after the chicks are hatched.
