Thanks for putting those up. Are the differences detectable at any age?

Now that im getting good at it, yeppers you can sex at just hours old

edited to add once they get older though i find it's actually harder to tell but by then you can normally tell by other physical looks like face and what not.

See It looks better, I think I will go harass it by practicing vent sexing now! Thanks for showing that!

Do they need to be day old or can you tell as late as a week or two?

Its also very deflated, just saggy now, look where my finger is poking, just looks like loose skin. So I guess its a minor issue whatever it was!

The Chocolate chick in front is a Marans X Ameraucana (my first and only). I am trying for some Olive eggers. The others are Partridge Silkies.
Just thought I would share some happy pics.

Hey that looks great! Sounds like someone on the ER thread had a similar experience and the chick went on to be fine. I am happy for the little nipper.

Monarch, thanks for the education. You have a career backup.

I may just try it with my next batch.

Awww, I want that chocolate little baby! He is adorable. All of them are.

I am seriously LOVING the Marans/EE crosses. Here's one of mine that I just took pictures of yesterday because I think she's so pretty. Looks like a bird of prey, almost.

What do you think of my boys? They're almost 5 months old now...I'm expecting eggs from the ladies any day! The top 2 pics are the same bird and the bottom one is the other. Sorry they're blurry...they refuse to hold still!

I like that bottom one a lot. Gimme?
