I watched this video about looking at wing and tail feathers at 3 weeks old to predict gender. If all the wing feathers are long, and the tail feathers are long, it's a female. If the outer wing feathers are long and the wing feathers nearer the elbow are short, and the tail is short, it's a male. They show it with several different breeds... orpington, Australorp, and others.
Does anyone have experience with this? Does it actually work?
I know I have seen those feather patterns as chicks grow, but I never thought it might be associated with gender.
