Is there a way to sex partridge Silkie chicks based on their stripes?

[cssilkies]

I've just hatched out a bunch of partridge Silkie Bantams. I'm wondering if there's any way to see a hint of gender in their chipmunk stripes. If there's more brown would it be female? More black male?

No, I do not think so. Generally speaking though you can tell when they are older sooner than other colors of Silkies. @Hinotori breeds partridge Silkies. Maybe they can help.

Lol.
I am the wrong person to ask about sexing a chicken.

No the stripes don't mean anything. No matter how many people swear that the eyeliner sexes them. Good news is you can sex many partridge chicks around 6 weeks because they have sex based feather color.

You do get some that don't show it until mid teens when getting full adult feathers. I has one I knew was male because he was too orange instead of tan around the neck. His comb only really started to develop around 16 weeks, and he finally started getting black feathers on his chest as we as the bright orange saddle and hackles.
