Ok so these chicks hatched Saturday and I'm trying to sex them on their wing feathers.

I'm thinking this is a pullet, correct?

(Will post other 2 in comments.)
 
I've never done wing sexing this early in life but I'm thinking the same. If no one else can help I would love to but I will need pics in a few days when they are a little bigger.

Oh really?! I was told 2 days is perfect. And it should be obvious. Not so much! They chirp so loud and move a bunch. Very difficult to get pictures!
 
Feather sexing is only valid for certain hybrids and breed strains that are bred for the trait. What kind of chicks are they?

Really? I've done it on many different breeds and it has work every time. A few years ago I was told that it had always worked for many people so I started doing it. I've done it for many other people also I hope it wasn't all wrong!!!!!! :(
