Can you accurately sex day-old Olive Egger chicks (Legbar-Welsummer)?

Chick #4 looks like a male to me.

I’m most on the fence with #3. I think you may be right!

I agree!

I think #3 and #4 are male. #1 and #2 female. Keep us updated as they grow!

I think both lights are boys.

I agree!

Thank you all so much for the replies! I think we have a pretty good consensus. I'll post more photos in a couple weeks.

I totally disagree.

Without being a trained individual, with more than the help of sketchy YouTube vids, it is incredibly dangerous and inaccurate.

Any chance you could move the vent sexing discussion to a new thread @rayrose @TheOddOneOut @Overo Mare @LaFleche @EmmaRainboe? I was hoping to add to this thread as my sweet little chicks grew. I am not interested in/considering taking up vent sexing, so this all has nothing to do with this thread. Just trying to have a little fun with chicken genetics and predicting the future, with an excuse to post photos of my babies as they grow.

I apologize. I did not mean to hijack your thread.

You could just report this thread and ask a moderator to remove the vent sexing posts to another/new thread.

ETA: I reported.

Deleted mine. Very sorry! Welcome to the crazy de-railed side of BYC.

Post away! Can't wait to see them grow.

No worries. Thank you!

Removed mine aswell! Although gotta admit.... couldn't figure out how to do it (I know, I'm stupid) so I asked a mod for assistance. Looking forward to see how your chickies grow!
