Sexing baby chicks

[kycowgirlchick]

Can someone tell me the easiest way to sex chicks. Other than squeezing their butts to see if foam comes out. I have barred rocks, cochins, polish, and some silkies. Which I know silkies are the hardest. I was trying to compare their combs but??

OK I now there are people out there.

Sorry, I wasnt any help at all....

look up on you tube " how do they do that" i looked it up the other nite and found out it's very easy. You just look at the wing tips.

They were actually sorting them that way @ the chick hatchery

Not all chicks can be feather sexed.

birds have to be breed with the gene to be feather sexed but each breed has diffrent ways of telling sex just gotta look at every breed as a diffrent one not one whole group of chicks

If someone could figure out a good way to sex chicks, other than vent-sexing day olds, or breeding sex-links--they would be able to make some money. Just not possible! One of the joys of chickens is not really knowing for quite a while.
