:barnieIt’s so confusing right now.
I know “they” generally say 6 weeks is best for sexing, but at what age will I really start seeing differences? 4 weeks? Am I already seeing them and I’m in denial?

IMO you are seeing red flags but nothing definitive. I have No idea what the "age" best to tell is and I'm pretty sure it's specific to each bird. Some you'll probably know early with and others maybe not until you get a crow or an egg. When I didn't want a roo, I think I got rid of my suspects at probably around he 6-8 week mark but I'm not 100% sure as their age wasnt really a factor. I just did it when I was convinced enough.
