too soon to tell breed?

Ok they r about 3 or 4 days. How do u sex by wing?

 

[chickenlver2013]

You spread their wing out and carefully look.

Boys will have a nice row of feather quills the same length.

Girls will have two nice rows of feather quills.

I'll upload a link to feather sexing.

Ok this method is accurate up to 6 days of age.

I do this with all my chicks. Even the ones I get at the feed store in the straight run bin. It always works.

here is Daytona:



here is Revvy:

Honkers:




Lightning:



Nitro:

as said in previous comments, folks are thinking Daytona, Pip, and Revvy are Old English Games and Honkers, Lightning, Scuffs, Drifter, and Nitro are cochins.

THANKS!!!

Feather sexing only works for certain breeds. If it were valid for every chicken hatcheries would not need vent sexers, sex linked breeds, and would be able to sex bantams.
