Hen or Roo chicks?

[nzchickmama]

Hi all, we rescued these young chicks (we already have chickens so it wasn’t foreign to us!), however I’m wondering if anyone can give me an educated guess on their genders? They’re about 2 days old, photos of their wing feathers attached. Thanks!

No way to know this early. Good on you for rescuing them.
Repost when they are around 8 weeks old for gender ID.

Ah ok - I had thought you could tell from their wing feathers when they were a couple days old?! Thanks

Only very specific crosses.

Most breeds you will be able to tell by 4-6 weeks.

No way to tell by the wing feathers unless they’re a super specific genetic cross.
