What Breed? Possible gender? :)

Its always best to do it 1-5 days after hatching. If you do it after that then their bigger feathers will come in and it won't work.

How many have you sexed that way? There’s always a 50% chance of getting it right.

I'm getting 25 Silkies in a couple of weeks. PM me your method, I'd love to try it out. I've been working on figuring out an earlier and more reliable way of sexing Silkies than the standard way of staring at them intently until they're nine weeks old and sorta guessing based on certain physical characteristics.

I recently have gotten four chicks from our local TCS, and while two of them I bought as pullets (golden laced wyandotte), two I bought as straight runs.

It didn't say the breed or assortment on the bin? Knowing that will help narrow down what they are a lot.

Hello!

I recently have gotten four chicks from our local TCS, and while two of them I bought as pullets (golden laced wyandotte), two I bought as straight runs. I’ve tried researching for hours but I can’t seem to get a type of chicken these beautiful babies are. They were both yellow when I got them, and the started growing these colored feathers.

And I was hoping maybe you can tell the gender of them as well?

Thank you so much!

It did not, sadly. Just assortment of chicks, and straight run. The only ones that had labels where the other two I got.

Is that a pea comb on this chick? Hard to tell from the pic, but if it is, that rules out faverolles. Also legs, feathered or clean?

Looking over their assortments I'm guessing they might be some kind of RSL. Were there a bunch of different colored chicks in the bin, or no?

Way too young for gender, but likely Production Reds

So cute! Maybe some type of Easter Egger?
