I thought that if people posted pictures of their chickens that need to be sexed in this thread then there wouldn't be so many gender threads floating around. So if you are uncertain of the gender of one of your chickens then please post them here!
A couple notes:
-Most day-old chicks cannot be sexed except by ventsexing. The exceptions are Sex-links, Barred Plymouth Rocks, and a few others.
-If you are wondering if Old Wives Tales work, then check out this awesome article: An Experiment in Chick Sexing Methods
-Wing-feather sexing does not work unless the chicks have certain genes, so most chicks cannot be feather sexed.
-When sexing somebody's chicks, please remember to quote their post to avoid confusion.
-Chicks should be at least three weeks old. Silkies should be at least two and a half months old.
-Always mention the age of the chicken, and breed is a bonus!
