Need help! Sexing frizzled cochin bantams

[flchicklady]

I just started breeding cochin bantams. Some frizzled. Right now we are crossing a frizzle buff barred cochin roo with a Birchen cochin hen. The chicks are a week old and some are feathering quickly while some are not. Was wondering if these can be feather sexed. Anyone have experience with this?

Too young to sex. Wing/feather sexing only works with certain crosses, at about one day old.

Bummer... but thanks so much.

Bantam Cochin roosters will get pink combs by 5 weeks, so you will need to wait a bit. Often the roosters will feather out slower than the pullets as well.
