Two chicks that I believe (wishful thinking?) to be pullets and would like to know what your opinion is. The larger chick is 1 week older than the smaller. How accurate is the "auto sexing" factor of a hatchery Welsummer?
How accurate do you find wing sexing of chicks that are a few days old?

The auto sexing features don't transfer to mix bteed you except under certain mixes.
Wing sexing has to be bred form
Autosexing is not a trait of mixed breeds. Autosexing is a trait of pure breeds that can be passed along. Think Cream Legbars, Rhodebars, etc. Sexlinking is however. Wing sexing is from a specific sex-linked mix, neither of which these birds are bred for

I was under the impression that if you crossed two auto sexing breeds, as long as the coloring acts the same i.e two barred based colors, they'd be down sexable? Sorry if I'm wrong.
