Hi, Having some trouble sexing my new game chicks! Hoping someone here can help me!
Picture 1: the front 2, pretty sure the brown one is a hen

Picture 3
I really like the color of this pullet!
What is that a grey? Never saw one like that. Is spangled or mottled?
To best sex such juveniles. concentrate your inspection on the area around your thumb.Pic 1 has a little greyer of a "hood" than the other. I asked on a facebook page and they said the little spangled one was a boy and the other 3 were females... just trying to figure out what I have! They supposedly come from a HIGH PRICED SHOW LINE I wish I knew the actual cross, which is why I posted pics of the parents... I have now idea about these things, Im really a newbie to all of this! I have 18 chickens total, these are my first game birds, I have bantams and they are awesome, but these little ones! Man they are some awesome chicks! Some very brave chicks!
Centra is right... the wing feathers will let you know if they are male/female.... darker irregular feathering on wings is an indication of early male (cockerel) plumage. Lighter colored dull pattern is usually a female (pullet)...Pic 1 has a little greyer of a "hood" than the other.

I had two like him many years ago, one with pink legs and the other with yellow. They both turned to regular greys with no signs of spangled or mottled. Its from Fabio over a birchen hen (she must have been mixed).
