I've heard that silver duckwing old English game bantams can sometimes be sexed by down color. If not, by what age can I tell gender? I know male and female silver duckwing look quite different.
Chick 1:

Chick 2:

Chick 3:

#1 and #2 look female to me due to heavy eyeliner and back stripes. Unsure on #3, hope it's not male cos my chick looks rather like that.

Right, @WVduckchick ?
 
To me, #1 looks female, #3 looks male. Iffy on #2, but probably female.
Usually within 3-4 weeks, you will notice either black or peach/salmon color on the shoulders, as it works its way around under the neck. Black is male, salmon is female.
