I've figured out a way actually. I've done so with purebred Sumatras, Silkies, & Buff Orpingtons.

If I remember to, I'll be making an article on my way of identifying the different sex pattern in the growth rate of feathers.

Have you asked nicalandia about it?

I know that you have found a way to do it, but do you have anything to prove it? What would cause it, genetically speaking??

So how about that graphic I posted? Is it useful at all or only for certain breeds or totally worthless?

Only birds I don't sex with this method is sex linked crosses, like the sex linked barring/crosses, or red Sex-link, black Sex-link types. Since they're very obvious.

But you can wing-sex standard breeds?

Not yet.

I was gonna make an article demonstrating my method.

I have two chicks(Pictures), that had the same parents I can share. Both are of fast feathering trait.

Not certain breeds, certain crosses.

helooooo?

Not certain breeds, certain crosses.

Okay, thanks.

 

[BigBlueHen53]

So mostly useless. That's what I thought.

 

[cherrynberry]

Okay, thanks.

It needs to be the cross of a fast feathering male and a slow feathering female. Unless that foundation is set, wings tell you nothing.

Feathering rate has to do with genetics.

It doesn't work on most "breeds". It needs to be a specific cross, not just a random chick you find at the feed store. The best way I can put it is that it would be no use to most people, unless you breed for that specific trait. So anyhow, just wait until the birds are 6-9 weeks old (for the average bird, this is the perfect time for gender and breed identification).

Read the post I quoted above ^
