Can sex be determined?

My peachicks are ~9 weeks and 6 weeks. Indian blue. Is there a way to sex them or should I wait longer?

I think your darker one might be female. Can you get some pictures of them in the sun?

@KsKingBee, do these look like spaldings to you?

You don't need to look further than the color of the legs to know that. The larger bird has that triangular head shape, the smaller bird may be carrying less than the bigger one.

I'll try to get natural light pics. I've read not to put them on the ground until 3 months, that's why they're inside. Plus they're flighty.

As for breed, I got them from a lady in Florida. They have a wild population now and these 2 were rescue chicks that were abandoned. She said Indian Blue.

here's 2 pics of IB chicks about 3 weeks old
the RED label turned out to be a male
the White label turned out to be a girl
there were some subtle indications as the males weight was a few hundredths of a LB more at this stage and more aggressive, it wasn't for some time until the blue feathers started on the necks of the males did i know for sure
