Hey everyone, I just hatched out chicks for the first time on the 4th and am trying to learn a bit more about their genetics. Specifically, I’m curious about whether or not they can be somewhat reliably feather-sexed when they hit a week old and am trying to find resources that detail the...

I have two mottled Houdan chicks and I’ve noticed that they’re developing differently. Still hoping they could both be girls but what do you think?

Can anyone help me out sexing the barred rock chicks? The people I bought them from said they were pullets but I’m not real sure. I have two in the pics below of the group. I only have one chick recent close up. The pic of the two is when we first got them.
