vent sexing takes years to perfect I think... as for sexing chicks, I don't. time and patience will tell you what you've got... some breeds you can tell earlier than others, like dorkings, roos have a black breast pullets red, but other breeds where both sexes are alike, some just take longer than others. bantam cochins, the roos usually have a decent comb by 2-3 weeks old, while Swedish flower hens have me guessing well beyond 12 weeks old sometimes.
Thanks again. Those little white girl's crests make me think of a dandelion top when it's ready to blow away in the wind.One of the juvenile Silkies I posted pics of the other day is the one I trimmed, you can't really tell, I just got the feathers from around and below her eyes. Well I shouldn't say you can't tell, you can tell most of the beard and cheek fathers are missing, and you can see how uneven it looks LOL - but I didn't take anything off the top because she only goes out in a chain-link run with chain-link roof.

Juanita was terribly proud of her poopy butt. Out of 10 pictures I think she showed it off 9 times.....
