How do I sex 3 week old chicks

[Glutton4...]

... you can't be TOTALLY sure until they either crow or lay an egg ...

LOL - ain't that true! My two 'definite' boys, at 2-3 weeks, are actually looking like one of each, at 10 weeks, and three of my 'definite' girls, at 2-3 weeks, are now almost certainly boys!

Might be 3 girls and one boy looking at comb develepment this morning.

If the ones that look like Welsummer crosses have what looks like eyeliner on, it generally happens that they are girls. Learnt that with mine

Wish my sablepoots were as easy to sex, 16 weeks old and still none the wiser! No signs of attitude or flirting with the other girls at all, they are lowest of the pecking order so still hoping they are both girls!

Boy?

Girl?

Girl?

Girl?

1. Boy
3. Girl

Nos 2 and 4 could go either way. Little comb but looks like wattles fleshing up so who knows. If No 1 is the dominant cock then the other two will develop slightly later.

I was right 1 boy 3 girls, and he is going to have to go if he keeps making that much noise in a morning!!
