Hi, I have a one week old Barnevelder chick that I am unsure is a boy or girl. Here are some pictures of him/her. Someone help! All input is appreciated.

Even someone with experience with Barnies is going to tell you it’s too early. Wing-sexing isn’t reliable to begin with or you wouldn’t get males accidentally. The people that do this still make mistakes but they also do it right after hatch because after about two days it is even less reliable. You’ll just have to wait and see! Which is half the fun if you ask me
