Anyone fancy predicting gender?

[lolafanau]

I have 2 brahma and 2 silkie.
Silkies are 3 days old than brahma.
The silkies look identical, can only tell them apart as one has slightly more grey spots on it's back.
Brahma are yellow and other is white/grey.
The white/grey Brahma has begun chest bumping a couple of times but other than that none are showing the obvious behaviours yet. They are only 3 weeks old though. I'm aware it's hard to tell with these breeds but just interested in anyone's predictions?
Brahmas both feathered very young on shoulders, grey Brahma has longer pointed wings but both only just getting tail feathers, both silkies feathered quite early

. The yellow brahma stands more like a pullet.

Difference in the two brahma feather growth. More feathered one acts dominant.

With bantams vent sexing is the easiest and most successful way of sexing

I thought vent sexing needed to happen in the first week? These are standard silkies and brahmas, not sure if that makes a difference.
Any chance you have any photos of the different between male and female if vent sexing at 3 weeks old? Thank you

I don’t have any pictures as my chicks are fully grown but I’m sure there will be some on the internet

Hahaha stands more like a pullet!
There aren't going to be great indicators for a couple more weeks. Dominance isn't determined by gender, usually until hormones start kicking in. Little baby pullets will fight just like roosters until they determine their pecking order.

I just saw what look like early wattles on one of your brahmas. Keep an eye on that, that's very boyish.

Ah fair enough, in every previous hatches the chest bumping/cockerel behaviour and resting stance alongside feather growth pattern have almost always turnt out correct for me, and I've hatched over 100 babies the past 10 years, these brahmas were stumping me as feather growth pattern and stance wasnt matching behaviour so perhaps you're right and it's just youngster brawls. Guess only time will tell I hadnt noticed the mini wattles but now looking back at the photos I see what you mean.
Silkies are a completely new hatch breed for me so not a clue with them!
