What breed? It's my first time

[Cyprus]

I know what sex they are from looking at their wings, but I will keep posted

Did you order these chicks from a hatchery or hatch them yourself? Wing sexing only works on specific crosses. You have to have the right male and the right female.

I hatched them myself and tried telling male with one layer of feathers on the wing, and females from two layers on the wing.

How old were they when you tried? Any older than three days and you can't tell.
I did the same with chicks I hatched out myself and I was almost 100% wrong.

I think day two or so.

i tried the same thing.
and i turned out 50/50 right on most for my very first time.
and i hatched out chicks my 2nd time and guessed the sexs and once they mature more i will tell at a later point /.

Wing sexing is not always accurate, but slow vs. fast development I've had probably 80-90% accuracy with. So I agree with @MyCuteCoop on genders at this point.

Cockerels are usually the slow developing chicks that maintain their baby fluff much longer than pullets. Most pullets feather out very quickly, but their combs develop slowly and maintain the pinkish beige color until they turn bright red when she's getting ready to lay. Summary: Males combs grow and become red quickly, but they feather out slowly. Females combs grow slowly and do not turn red until point of lay; but they feather out quickly. This theory is in general, so there will always be the oddballs that are extremely hard to sex. Silkies, Cochins, and Brahmas can be especially tricky.

@MyCuteCoop, if you could get some better full side profile pics I can at least give you some guesses on their breeds.
