Silkie Sexing Project 2.0

[LynnaePB]

Picture has been updated with RBk!

I'm going to go with my original guess of female on RBk but it's a really weak guess.....those blacks are the hardest for me without any vaults! Who knows though maybe the vaults on the others will be misleading....I'm biased from what I've hatched from my own stock (vaulted usually being girls).

They did not wanna cooperate tonight, but I got everything. I'm beat though, so I'll get it all arranged and post the pictures tomorrow.

Alright y'all, the picture is ready! If there's anything y'all would like me to include next time let me know. The bigger they get the more of them I'll probably show, since there'll actually be something to see . I tried to improve the lighting and made a clear format to hopefully make it the easiest it can be using pictures for your awesome selves to help me out with this!

I love the pictures you got this time! The comb shot and a full body shot showing stance is great!

My guesses changed a bit this time......I'm still pretty unsure on a lot! It'll be fun seeing if the earlier guesses or the later guesses were better.

Boy guesses are marked blue and girl guesses pink.

Welcome to the party, @RoostersAreAwesome! I really appreciate your help!

@EmmaRainboe, I still need your guess for RBk from the last weigh in and feel free to guess for this week's batch too if you wanna

Just some fun tidbits of info for y'all:
-Participants have agreed on a bird's sex an average of 32% of the time.
-Two birds' sexes have been agreed on by all participants; GBf (as female) and GWt (as male)

This is the last weigh in before the data is likely to influence me subconsciously if I try to guess (and wayyy before I receive their test results), so these are my guesses based on appearance only:

RBf	Male
RWt	Female
RBk	Female
RBu	Female
RSp	Female
PBf	Male
PWt	Female
PBk	Female
PBu	Female
PSp	Male
OBf	Male
OWt	Male
OBk	Female
OBu	Female
OSp	Female
GBf	Female
GWt	Male
GBk	Female
GBu	Male
GSp	Male
BBf	Male
BWt	Male
BBk	Female
BBu	Male
BSp	Female

I figured it would be fun to put myself out there too for seeing how we all did in the end!

Hi TheAlrighty Gina the project you are running is awesome, I would love to make guesses about the gender of your cute babies, is it still possible to do so or am I too late to participate because it is already week/round 3 and I didn't guess from the start?
