You can only feather sex slow growing feathering chicks, only certain breeds

I know that part, but was wondering if the bantams i listed was one of them? I have heard that since the mom and dad came from a hatery to Orschlen's, that most of them are breed to be feather sexed....so was wondering it was ture and if I could sex them that way?

Crossbreds will not nescessarily breed true to charactoristics. I have not heard that either of those breeds are feather sexable, you might try posting on the breed threads.
