When can I sex my Wyandottes

[Hensforbrains]

I hatched 7 GLW chicks last week. Last time a hatched 7 chicks (BR) 5 of them were roos. How early can I sex them (without vent sexing)? is it 6-10 weeks or is there some trick to sexing GLW sooner? I am hoping for at least 3 pullets this time.

You could post pics individually/numbered for us to "guess" when they're about 6 - 8wks. There's a few on BYC that are really good at it. Watch for the development of their combs and wattles, as well as the coloring...Cockerels tend to get more color (red) in their combs that also develop faster as does their wattles.

Post pics at six weeks. I don't know of any other early way for them. Sorry.

This thread shows you what to look out for in the boys - the red wing/shoulder patch (the bird pictured is 8 weeks old).

Girls will have nice, even lacing.
