Is there any method of sexing (or at least making an educated guess about gender) on two week old Speckled Sussex chicks, such as incoming wing feather color perhaps? Would a cockerel chick have more white on the lower wing feather than a pullet chick (both do have white, of course)? Or perhaps a more upright stance? I realize no method would be foolpoof accurate, but a few tips would be helpful for at least hedging my bets. Thanks!

Would love to know myself as mine are also 2 weeks old. But I've been told it will be 2 months before we know for sure. Would love to hear if someone has another idea?
 
My speckled sussex roos developed white flight feathers very early on. None of my hens developed the white flights. I won't guarantee this since this is my first time with SS chicks. They are almost a year old now.
