Is two weeks too late to feather sex chicks? This is my first go around with it. I’ve previously purchased already sexed pullets. Never dealt with cockerels. The photos are labeled 1-7. I’m having a hard time following the two layer rule on the interior feathers. I could be misinformed. Any help appreciated. Thanks. I may keep two or three and I want to make sure they’ll be hens. I tried using the tail feathers but they all have about the same sized tail feathers.
