Barred rock chick sexing

[samantha88]

I'm doing my best to familiarize myself with sexing these barred rocks. Does this look like a male? They just hatched today. Should I wait till tomorrow for a little more wing development? I'm not doing too well with vent sexing. I can't find good pictures or videos.

To me this is a female wing... Am I right?

According to feather sexing, #1 is a cockerel and #2 is a pullet, but it isn't always accurate.

I am assuming vent sexing is one of the most accurate ways to sex chicks. I am planning on selling the batch I have now and need to be sure I don't give away any roosters. Is there any helpful pictures or videos you have come across to help me out? Thanks!

Wing sexing only works for certain strains and hybrids bred for the trait. A head spot and it's shape is more accurate at sexing barred birds. I can't remember which is which, but I am sure a search will help you out.

What would your educated guess be for this little one?
