Ok I have a Cornish Cross that I decided was a male a long time ago but after talking to more people who have them and seeing their babies at this age I noticed that the females had decent sets of wattle and combs too so I'm not posotive anymore. Here are some pictures of Big Bird,
This is from 4 weeks

This is from 5 weeks and I had to edit it to see it better but his comb wasnt actually that red at the time, the light was shining through it and made it look brighter than it actually was.

And now not edited in natural light today at 7 weeks old.

I will start with my 5 week old light Brahmas. I have 6 of them, think I got at least one pic of each. Sorry so pic heavy, thanks in advance for helping.

Now the speckled Sussex. 6 of them, too. 5 weeks old. The last couple of pics are at 4 weeks I think though.

The one in front is definitely a pullet, I think the one behind it is as well

I bought these 4 cuties sexed, so hopefully they are all girls. They are 4 weeks old. Did MPC get it right?

Chick 1 is a Austra White

Chick 2 is a Silver Cuckoo Marans

Chick 3 is a Cuckoo Bluebar

Chick 4 is a Black Jersey Giant

The fencing is VERY distracting, hard to see much when that's what the camera focused on. I can see that he has black plumage, though. Does he have some red feathers on the mid-wing? I THINK I see them. If so, then he's a male for sure.

Here are some better pictures of the feathers please let me know what you think thanks

5 weeks is too young to sex Brahmas. Also, some of your pictures are not clear enough to see necessary details. A standing side view and a clear close up the comb (maybe someone can hold them?) are most helpful.

Now the speckled Sussex. 6 of them, too. 5 weeks old. The last couple of pics are at 4 weeks I think though.

I don't see any obvious males yet, but they are too young to be sure. Same problem with the quality issues of a few of the pics.

So far so good, but too young to be sure.
