2 weeks old Orpington - girl or boy ?

[Jinglebell]

Hi all,

I read that you could tell the gender of 2 week old chick by the shape of their wings, but I am not sure whether I could differentiate between rounder wings and longer wings. Can you guess the gender of these chicks ? They are gold laced Orpingtons.

Feather sexing only works on certain crosses, and only within the first few days.

Post updated pics of combs and wattles at 6 weeks.

The op hadn't been on since May of last year, they aren't likely to reply.

But you don't have to get email notifations - I don't because I get like 1,000 alerts a day - She probably has them turned off.
When people don't come back to BYC, I get a little bothered... hopefully they didn't have a bad experience here.

It’s not a big deal. If she answers, she answers

If you would like you could take pictures of the bird(s) you were talking about above and post a thread of your own, and get some great advice.
