Had Wyandotte hatching eggs that were silver laced, gold laced, blue laced red, and partridge in LF and Bantam. Things didn't go so well, but two hatched (well, maybe a third will hatch late, but I don't know...) One is obvious LF, the other bantam.... But I do not know how to tell what colour they are.

The LF has a more obvious creamy-yellow chest/belly. The bantam has a chest/belly that is more warmish-grey. I did go here: http://www.feathersite.com/Poultry/CGP/Wyand/BRKWyandChix.html but there is no photo of a partridge, and some of colours as chicks look kinda the same... but I figure i can cross out silver laced at least. That still leaves: gold laced, blue laced red, and partridge.

And when can I start guessing sex?

Thanks!

Both of them, even though the bellies are different colours? (does it indicate sex?)
 
I got a bunch of Wyandottes from McMurry this week - still trying to figure out what color everyone will be!

BUT - I have 3wk old BLRW and they have pretty distinctive coloring
- the ones that are blue have the widest stripe on their back a blue/slate blue/greyish blue

The BLRW that are splash were silver all over and silver widest stripe (2 different birds)
