I need help sexing my project chicks.

[Cool_Catrules456]

The father was a fast feathering silver easter egger.

The mothers are White leghorn,SLW and GLW, both will be silver. And two buff orpington chicks. There are more in the incubator, but these are what are here now, the younder chicks are 3 weeks old, so still too early, but one is male due to feather sexing, slow mom fast dad, I will post them at 5 weeks here. And the oldest chick. (Single hatch) is 5 weeks. Here is the oldest. They are the SLW chick.

How is this splash?? I, for one, think he’s white w/ leakage and maybe has barring. Definitely gotta ask more experienced folks to double check/elaborate on that though. Either way, the OP is wondering about gender. And for that in particular, I agree with you. Looks like a pullet so far.

@MysteryChicken @Amer what do you guys think?

So IDK he could be a splash?

I had a feeling, just wasn’t sure, she had an attitude as a young chick. But grew out of it.

I've had plenty of females with attitude, not a good way to determine gender.

It's good she grew out of it.

True, I was not going off of just that though, I was also activly looking for male traits, I just like getting a second opinion on chicks, because if they turn out to be a confirmed he, they’re gone. And I want to do that as soon as I can to cut down on feed, this cockerel whent to a family member as Im not allowed to have roosters. The family member agreed to let me breed him to my hens every now and then. So good to know he is a splash. That will let me find out whats a good pairing. (Like breeding him to my lavender orpington will probably be the next thing) sorry for the rant.
