Wing sexing. Hen or roo

I hatched out 4 little chicks and I wanted to sex 2 by wing seeing and to me it seems like they are both girls. What do you think?

Wing sexing only works on specific crosses. @MysteryChicken knows much more about it than I do.

I believe wing feather sexing works only for birds with certain genetics.

It works for crosses where one parent is slow feathering and one is fast, I don’t recall if it is the male who is slow feathering or the female, but it is the cross of the slow and fast that produces the difference in the size of the flight feathers for the males and females. It won’t work on a lot of pure bred chickens.

The fathers are sebrights mixes and the mother is a white leghorn.

Wing/feather sexing only works when a fast feathering male is put over a slow feathering female.

The fathers are sebrights mixes and the mother is a white leghorn.

This mix would not work for feather sexing.

This mix would not work for feather sexing.

So how would I go with sexing them? Other than vent sexing.
