Can you feather sex bantam chicks?

[TheDuckGuy]

We have had 2 chicks hatch from a broody hen they are 1 day old and they both have female feather sexing but I've heard some people say that you can't do that with bantams l. If you can't do y'all think if I send pictures of their vents could y'all tell because I can't. Thank you

Only professionals can sex by looking at the vents, and it requires more than just a picture. Feather sexing only works on chickens specifically (or accidentally) bred for it.

Comb development, male-specific pointed feathering, and feather color.

You can send @MysteryChicken a private message and they may be able to help you. You can do that by clicking on their profile and clicking "start conversation"

Send them some pictures of the chicks in question. Theyre pretty good.

It means private message, sorry for this miscommunication. I guess just "?" gets me confused.

Bantam is not a breed. Its a name for all the small chickens and small chicken breeds with lots of variations. Duckguy, do you have any idea what breed you have?

@MysteryChicken why in a PM?
