I've been trying to learn how to sex zombies (before I get some) since they are suppose to be to tell after hatching. The pics I've found on Google have me confused if I can tell or not. I've heard pullets will have dark face and legs while roos will have yellow legs and beak. The ones below are what I could find on google/fb and just not sure cus some the beaks have a darker spot but not all the way. And some have black legs but yellow tows. I just wanna know for when I get my straight runs. First pic to me looks like mostly roos (though not a great angle)? pic 2 the one in the front in center of pic I think is a female? Pic 3 all look like roos? Pic 4 is one with black legs but yellow toes.

Sounds to me it depends on how good the parent stock is. A fribro roo over a white leghorn hen should produce pullets that show fibro at hatch (dark comb/beak and legs) and roos that don't (yellow comb/beak and legs). I don't think it is 100% accurate though as there are always variables, like if the fibro roo doesn't have great fibro genes and is possibly mixed with something else. Best chance of getting a pullet is to choose the ones with the darkest beaks and legs.
 
According to the Facebook group the comb is supposedly the most telling if the beak and legs are more yellow. So choose the darkest combs and you should get all pullets.
