Male or female?

[Laurahoworth92]

Hi so this chick hatched 3 days ago I read somewhere 1 lot of feathers male 2 lot of feathers female .. would you say male or female?

 

[Blue is my chicken]

i would say it is way to early to tell what gender
i have tried the feather method before and i got it completely wrong thought i had 10 girls out of tweleve chicks (which i did think was weird you never get that good luck when hatching) and ened up with only 4 girls!! and 8 boys!!
i would wait till she/he is older
sorry to be no help

Feather sexing is not an accurate way to sex chicks. Your best bet is to wait until they are 4-8 weeks old and look at the comb and wattle development.
