SO, I REALLY wanna hatch chicks this spring, but the DM is NOT about to let me have roosters... Soo, I really need to know how to feather sex! I would only be able to hatch chicks of breeds that could be color or feather sexed... (

Salmon Faverolles can be sexed at a couple days old. There are a couple other breeds but I can't think of them right now. Feather site shows the Faverolle chicks and the difference.
 
White Leghorns are feather sexed, right? There are also all kinds of birds you can sex by color. Wheaten Marans, Salmon Faverolles, and really any breed where the roosters are dramatically different from the hens. There are sex-links, too. They are crossbreeds that were designed so they can be sexed at hatch. Look those up.
