Good to know. Thanks for the info!!Feather sexing only works for specific breeds or crosses that have been bred for that trait. Won't work with most chicks.

Thanks, I was guessing. The white one hatched from a white egg, and only my white Leghorns lay white eggs, so that’s why I assumed it was a Leghorn cross. The rooster was Ameracauna/Australorp/Jersey Giant.First is a pullet, others are roos. Your first roo is not a barred rock, and your second roo is not a white leghorn or australorp. You have all ameraucana/EEs![]()
The first one is a pullet, the other two are cockerels.Here are three more of my chicks. These are 7 weeks old.
1) Ameracauna/Easter Egger (3 pics)
2) Ameracauna/Easter Egger or Barred Rock (2 pics)
3) Ameracauna or Australorp/White Leghorn (1 pic)View attachment 2786618View attachment 2786621View attachment 2786627View attachment 2786630View attachment 2786632View attachment 2786633
These all look like girls.I have 14 chicks that we’ve raised from eggs. The rooster was Ameracauna/Australorp/Jersey Giant (sorry, don’t know all the abbreviations yet). The hens: White Leghorns, Easter Eggers (black, brown, and wheaten), and Barred Rock. They are six to seven weeks old and I have a guess as to the gender, but would like your opinion. It’s our first time raising our own chicks. Our original flock was from TSC. I don’t have clear picks yet of all of them. Here are the six week olds and my guesses: 1) Easter Egger/Ameracauna rooster 2) Easter Egger/Jersey Giant (this chick is huge) hen 3) Easter Egger/Ameracauna hen 4) White Leghorn/Australorp (Austra White?) roosterView attachment 2785361View attachment 2785363View attachment 2785362View attachment 2785364
CockerelHere are a few more. These are not all of the final seven, but the black ones without combs all look so similar, I wasn't able to get separate pics of them. These are all 7 weeks old.View attachment 2790019View attachment 2790020View attachment 2790021View attachment 2790022View attachment 2790024View attachment 2790025
