Sex of 1 Week Old Dominique Bantams? *PICTURE HEAVY*

[thebeanboi]

I have gotten 3 Dominique Bantams a week ago, they were all sexed as pullets. Of course, I know there's a margain of error in sexing, although wit dominiques you can tell at hatching.

*Chick 2's other wing has more black on it than the one pictured.

Hopefully they are all pullets.

These chicks confuse me. They have both the looks of pullets and cockerels from what I've seen online. Maybe their parents were hard to say too.

Sorry, I forgot to say this on the thread

I'm not sure how reliable it is after a few days old, but the legs and beaks all say pullet to me!

1 week of age is way to young to sex chicks unfortunately. Post pics at around 8 weeks of age.

It's still much to soon to give an gender guess with any accuracy. Please post updated photos in a few weeks.

Oh, okay. I thought dominique bantams could be sexed at hatching. They weren't vent sexed, so they had to be sexed with their features. Anyways, thanks for trying Kiki !

Feathers, coloring, size, all these do not have anything to do with the sex. Unless you have a maintained breeding line, to show different traits at hatch.
Please post pics of the combs at six weeks.
