Wing sexing

[Chey1214]

3 day old chicks leghorn ayam mix…I think I can still sex them via wings. I’m seeing all girls what do you think?

Only certain breeds can be sexed by the wing growth, and even in those breeds it's never 100%.

Rightthese are white leghorn mixes…. Leghorns can be wing sexed…. So I’m curious if mixed w leghorn can be sexed.

I wasn't aware that leghorns could be wing sexed. Only certain lines from my understanding, but I'm not an expert on them. I'm familiar with cochins and Orpington being wing sexed or sex by feathering.

Once you cross a breed certain traits can no longer be reliable.

Hopefully someone more familiar with leghorns can help out.

Only if you know for certain one parent is slow feathering and one parent is fast feathering. I think it has to be slow feathering female and fast male, but it could be the otherwise around and both parents have to be true for that gene.
