I have been able to but I don't know if that would be considered autosexing. Does anyone know the definition of feather sexing?

Okay, not a definition but an example of feather sexing:

 

  Faverolles chicks (the Salmon variety anyway) can be feather sexed fairly easily at 5 to 7 days old.  The females' first wing feathers come in very light colored while the males have black/dark feathers.

 

This is a pullet:

And this is a cockerel:

Both of these chicks are less than a week old.

A pullet has dark crisp markings, the head and back markings are more outlined with dark.  A cockerel has softer lighter markings, more of a reddish brown outline.  The eye marking on the pullet is more distinct.  It's actually pretty obvious, even on HQ birds.

The difference between breakfast and chicks, is the temperature you use to "cook" the eggs!

 

What breeds do I have?  More than any sane person would own.
