What Breed? Possible gender? :)

[GAChickenMomma]

Hello!

edit to add photo of chick:

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!

maybe salmon favorolles, or a mix of salmon favorolles? look female..... I do not really find the wings accurate. my hens wings looked like that

By the wings they look female but, Im not sure if the wing trick works on that breed.

Are they Bantam or large fowl? Can we get a picture of the whole chick? Wing sexing only works on specific crosses.

“The trait is sex linked and works only if the chick’s father is of a breed that grows feathers rapidly and its mother is of a breed that grows feathers slowly.”(Damerow, 2017)

It has always worked on my silkies. Im not saying that it works on all silkies my Greasy hen might have a few tricks up her wing.

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