My New Babies

Most likely the ones with more wattle development will be male.
Also for future reference, look into pin feather sexing, which needs to be done within the first week. I have used this method with good success.

feather sexing is inaccurate already tried that

With Wyandottes, I have been told by several local breeder's that feather sexing is to unreliable to consider it a definite option. Though I do it with mine and it's been pretty good.
I have some Silver laced and Lavender split in my brooder now. They are almost 3 weeks old. The roosters combs are obviously redder than the others and I should be able to definitely tell in another week.

For some reason I can't attach pics right now. Most of what you have looks girly to me.

Sorry you don't know how to do it right, but plenty of people have used feather sexing as a fairly simple and effective method.

I can try, but it's better done when they are younger. It can be harder to tell at this age.

I bought these chicks at delivery to TS on May 6th. They said they were hatched May 5th and shipped without food or water yet. These are feather pictures taken on May 12th. This will be Fun. At least a good guess.

Best results are done on day old chick's. On my last hatch of 8 chick's I believe I feather sexed them 100% accurate. I'm not going to claim that for a while. I have approximately 27 to try it on this Friday. We'll see.

Ok. Good Luck!!! That's exciting.
I did the leg hanging test and they tested female. I had lil roos that curled up. These two just hung their little legs straight down. A girl at TS held them upside down and they just hung straight down and the roos kept trying to curled back up. Idk. But their lil tail feathers are starting to grow little tuffs too.
Im betting on lil girls. Time shall tell...right?
