YOUR THOUGHTS! Sexing 1wk BLRW chicks

[Ajeazi88]

I’ve done my research and have my thoughts. But I’m also only 1+yr exp chicken owner. I’m curious to how many ladies or Roos of the 5 BLRW I may have. I took 3 photos of each bird(back colors,beak,and wing feathers) I hope these are the things that a more experienced person would look at. TIA

Good photos, but they are way too young to sex. 6 weeks is a good time to start. At that age, we can start evaluating comb size and color. This variety is not sex linked or auto-sexing.

Too early. Wait until 7-8 weeks.

Its way to early to tell for a Wyandotte.
Wait until atleast 7 weeks.

So in other words. They can only be sexed at an early age if there vent checked when 1day old? Thanks for the advice.
