So I tried this 5 methods of sexing, my chicks are two weeks old. I will update this post week by week. Methods I usedy:
-lay on back
-vent shape
-comb shape
- pick up chrip
-wing split

I have 16 chick's but this is my favourite 6✔
Also they are crossbreed .. rooster is cross NACEKD NECK & Wlellsumer and hen is SASSO dual purpose breed very heavy 11 pounds.
They have 2 weeka now.
And only two females ☹️☹️☹️ wish I was wrong or drunk while sexing them 😂😂

It will be interesting!

we just hatched mixed breed chicks from our flock -sold all but three. Hoping they are female, but we really won’t know for several weeks! They are 5 days old today. I recap a couple of the chicks at hatch (still very wet and curled up) and their combs were so wide -like half of the top of their heads! The Father rooster has a rose comb, so I think those were rose combs.
 
I think they all look like cockerels now.
If these are your favorite 6 of 16 chicks, then they could easily be cockerels: those little fellows have a real knack for becoming favorites.

If you've still got the other 10, it is quite likely that some of them are pullets. (Because 16 chicks being all cockerels is really quite unlikely--something like one in a million odds.)
 
But this 6 are crossbreed of this because I mark her eggs and want her chick's she is mostly meat chicken but she lay every day..best hen I have... So am so disappointed if AL are boys...
Oh, these all have the same mother?
In chickens, the mother determines the gender of the chick.
I have read that some hens have mostly sons, and others have mostly daughters.
So you might have a hen that does produce mostly sons :(

If the hen lays that well, you may want to breed one of her sons to your other hens, to see if you can raise more great layers.
 
Four is a probable pullet, the others are cockerels.
Not big surprise when I sexed them at begining only 2 and 4 I sort as female, two isfor me still questionable because other COCKERELS have pink comb and NBR 2have big comb but yellow/white also other COCKERELS have developed wattles and nbr2 don't so I gave nbr two few MORE weeks..
