WHITE JAPANESE BANTAM WING SEXING

[ChicksDigPink]

Hi All. I am new here. I was Reading up about Sexing of White Japanese Bantams by their wings. Here is a picture of my 1 day old Bantams,wing. What am I looking for...anybody? Is this too early?

Wing sexing is judged by the length of feathers already growing in. Pullets mature faster and have crooked feathers coming in, whereas cockerels mature slower and have all feathers come in evenly. However, you have to be a professional wingsexer to accurately tell. Even then, the accuracy isn't great.

Thanks BantamFan4life. Last clutch yielded 5 Roo's out of 6 Chicks. We have 5 Chicks this round. Can Not possibly be 4 Roo's,lol...or at least i'm hoping not

You have to do with in the first 3 days of hatching and you are looking at the primaries and coverts of the wings. How ever having had japs and breeding mottled I have found that for my particular line they are not wing sexable. Wing sexing is can only be done on chicks that have the fast feathering gene in their lines which means only a handful can actually be wing sexed.
