Anyone Know the Gender of these chicks?

Two are Cochins and two are Silkie and Cochin mixes. I believe two are female and two are male, but I'm beginning to doubt myself!

They don't have any combs yet. They are barely 5 days old.

I've wing sexed the rest of ours just fine.

Then there is nothing we have to go off of for sexing.

Doesn’t mean it was accurate.

Wing sexing is a sexlinked trait, comes from crossing a fast feathering male to a slow feathering female. And unless where you got your purebreds from has two separate lines (one fast feathering and one slow feathering) and crosses them, together just for the wing sexing trait, there is no way to sex them by the wings.

It was accurate. You CAN wing-sex. There's nothing saying you cant, either.

You can wing sex wing-sexable chicks. But you can’t ACCURATELY wing sex all chicks.
