Best time to sex chicks by appearance?

[Spellbound4u]

I am curious when the best time to post pictures of my chicks is. I need some help sexing them, but I don't want to try too early. I am already second guessing myself constantly lol my chicks are currently 7.5 weeks old. I have 2 California whites, 2 lavender orpingtons, and 2 golden laced wyandottes. Any advice would be great! TIA

Generally between 6 and 10 weeks on most breeds.

So 10 weeks would be a good time to post pics for help?

I think you can post some now. If it's super obvious we can tell you. Sometimes they are, sometimes they arent.

That lavender is a cockerel. I would also watch the one in the front.

I agree the lavender is a cockeral. The gold laced Wyandotte is a pullet. Males feather out darker.
