    Feather Sexing - advice please

    So I know feather sexing isn't reliable all breeds. I have four hybrids and one has hardly any wings feathers and one has big big wing feathers. Is there anyway for me to tell which is male or female or do I need to wait? Why is one growing faster than the other three.

    I don’t know why I’m so proud of this video, but I sing it to S whenever I socialize them. I try and socialize the birds every day so they grow up un afraid of humans.
