English Orpington chicks

[SemperFiChicken]

Just hatched 3 English Orpington chicks. Their mothers are black, the fathers could have been a variety of English Orpington color. How early can they be sexed?

When i asked the people on here said eight weeks

My understanding is that orpingtons are slower maturing, so it may take longer to be able to sex them.

10-12 weeks on English Orpingtons, and it can still be tough then.
