Way too early for even a guess.

Wing sexing doesn’t work. Too young. Post more pics when they’re around 8ish weeks.

Correct me if im wrong, please. Im no BBQ chicken wing expert or anything, but from what i know, wing sexing only works for a very limited amount of time (1 day if im correct?) because after that, it won’t work. Aswell as that, im pretty sure they have to be certain breeds to work, and takes some skill. Their to old.

Also, those are those are way to young (to old to wing sex, to young to normally sex) check back later! Pretty looking birds you got there!

I can usually guess gender between four and six weeks of age (depending upon the breed).

I look for coloring and size of comb development in conjunction with the development of wattles. Wattle development at that age almost certainly points to a cockerel.

I don't believe your chick is that age yet.

Much to early and wing sexing is not going to work on her/him. Post update pics when it hits 6 weeks full body shots and comb pics please

Wing sexing does not work for birds older than a day or two old. Wing sexing onlyworks for specific crosses of a fast feathering rooster over a slow feathering hen. Purebreds cannot be feather sexed and nor can crossbreeds that weren't mixed with intention. This cross is also hard to come by for backyard owners. Quote from Cackle Hatchery's website: "You may run across websites where people claim any chick may be feather sexed. But, as you now know, that’s simply not true. A chick can be feather sexed only if its mother is slow feathering and its father is fast feathering. Furthermore, you can’t get feather sex chicks by mating a feather sex rooster to a feather sex hen. It works only for the first generation." Here is the link for more information.

OP, your bird is too young to sex
