I think I have figured out these chicks sexes but am not sure if I am right or if you really can feather sex all breeds. I found this awesome site that showed me the difference in the pullet and cockerel wings at about a day old. Any one out there able to help?

Vanilla Bean - Definite pullet
 
I was wondering if Stormy and Granola happened to be pullets or cockerels. I know it’s been many years since this post, but I love how you showed the progress. Thank you for that. Granola to me looks definitely like a roo in all photos, especially the last one. But Stormy I had doubts (good size wings to be a Pullet, but no early tail feathers and showing an early wattle).
