Gender?

[TBEngland]

2 Christmas Eve chicks all dry and the Christmas chick that hatched a couple hours ago is still drying off in the incubator. Will post pictures of it in the morning.

Unless you have chicks that are bred for auto-sexing, (admittedly feather sexing is possible if they've been bred for it but they'd need to be a few days old to see that.) there's really no way to accurately tell at day old what their gender is, except vent sexing and that is only reliable for people who have been trained to do it.

if you notice some getting larger or pinker combs and wattles by 3 - 4 weeks they are likely boys. And at 12 weeks males will start to have the feathers around their neck and saddle come in that are pointy, while hen feathers are rounded.

Lol even trained venters are not 100% accurate
