Too young to judge by comb, I use the wing feather buds sexing method most of the time, unless they're sexlinked, or auto sexing types.

But most don't see the wing feather bud sexing as that accurate. Unless it's a trait bred for, like breeding fast feathering male, over slow feathering females. (Hope I don't have that backwards) to produce slow feathering males, & fast feathering females.

So with the wing feather bud sexing, would you say the ones that are feathering out quicker are female? Or did I get that backwards?

I was explaining how it's usually done in hatchery situations, for meat, & egg birds. But most vent sex.
