3 week Barred Rock gender?

[Glitterchicks]

I heard somewhere that they're easier to sex when they are young and photos from the top are best. Any guesses with these littles?

Close, clear, individual, standing, broadside pictures are best. 3 weeks is a little young to sex, even Barred Rocks.

It's the stripes on the wing feathers that give them away. Side shots would be better.

I will take more pictures when I get home!

They are too young.
Please post pics of their combs at six weeks.
Barring, head spots, and leg wash are not accurate for sexing, either. That will only work in maintained blood lines.

too young agree with Crazy for chickens

Barrings never failed me with tsc chicks. And it doesn't hurt to look and see and if you find out different in a few weeks, no harm done imo. Unless you get rid of all suspected cockerels. I take any sex guesses on here with a grain of salt and keep chicks until I'm sure.

That way it is a Guess and not a determination .

Pretty much anything but autosexing and sex linked is a guess until they lay an egg or get specific male feathers. I'd like to see where the ones who get straight stripes on the wings instead of spotty bits of white turn out to be pullets.

i think that barred rock can usually be sexed at a very young age. it may not ALWAYS be accurate but you do not have to just blow it off as too young!
