I’m impatient with a capital I! Lol
I know time will tell, but does anyone have a feeling on gender?
I’ve read a couple threads in here that said the difference in cockerel vs pullets. I think I’m still too early to be confident in my guess. They are like a day or two tops from being 3 weeks.

But any thoughts?
I tried to get all the angles.

Curious as to why you think that? I know it's almost impossible to tell at that age (with this breed anyways), so I would love a few pointers!
Ya, too early to tell. That was just a lesson in patience or something like that.

Do you have pictures of the chest feathers? Cockerels have more white chest vs hens if I remember correct.
The feather colors can help with sexing.
 
If you don't have any yet you will love them. The spexkled Sussex are my favorites out of all my birds. I have one in particular that will "chat" with me. Lol. They're so wonderful.

I am very remorseful because my SS is the first chick that got killed by my rooster last week. She was an escape artist and couldn't get back in the chick pen. Her personality was growing on me and I wanted to watch her feather out 😞
