I agree that trying to sex birds from pics is difficult. 1-3 are way to early to tell for me. 4-5 are white breasted/range/rosetta which are the same thing mostly and defy color sexing in most crowds.

I think I see 3 roos and 2 non color sex able birds. Would like to see what happens in 3 weeks, but even after 30 weeks, I couldn't color sex #4 and #5.

the british range back when I had them could be color sexed , unless a red/rust color has been added, just like the tuxdeo can be sexed.

LIKE THE FLOOR AND THE WIRE ON THE ROOF AND 1 TO THE WIRE ON THE DOOR, ANOTHER TO THE FEED STRIP... AND A FULL GROWN COCHIN ROOSTER IN A NEIGHBORING PEN WITH HIS BEAK ZIP TIED SHUT (BOY WAS HE TICKED!

EVERYTIME HE TRIED TO CROW I THOUGHT HIS EYES WERE GONNA POP OUT!) ITS A WONDER I DIDNT GET MALARIA OR ENCEPHALITIS, THE WHOLE DAY WAS A WASTE OF TIME AND ZIP TIES... HAD TO START ALL OVER AGAIN ONCE MY HEAD STOPPED POUNDING AND I COULD MAKE A FIST AGAIN

SO NOW ANYTIME I EXPLAIN BEER SEXING I PUT A DISCLAIMER IN THERE THAT OTHER SUITABLE BEVERAGES MAY BE SUBSTITUTED BUT CAN POSSIBLY HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON SEXING ACCURACY.... FOR OBVIOUS REASONS

TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION ITS BEHAVIORAL OBSERVATION... SO THEY HAVE TO ADULTS IN BREEDING MODE

I Shudder To Think How Bad It Could Have Been If It Were Margarita Or Tequilla And Lime Sexing... Zip Ties Would Have Likely Been Permanently Affixed With Sheet Rock Screws... :p

I have several that laid eggs. Those were my female tibetans.

All of my EW's crowed. Those were males.

Went sexing adults is way easier than beer sexing unless you have a lot of time and beer on your hands. It takes forever for those darn things to crow when you want them to.

And a whole lot longer for eggs to start popping out!!

Wait another 4-6 weeks and went sex the two ranges. The others may be color sexed in a week or two.
