Spread the wings, girls have long and short feathers, boys all straight. But looks like a girl to me.
She's pretty, looks like a Sophie

Feather sexing only works on certain crosses and these chicks are much too old for that anyways

I've found it reliable on all 5 different breeds so far

Girl, 3 layers of feathers

 

[2 chiks n a roo]

@ 9 wks old, ya can see 3 layers of feathers, her combs already going red. Mine have big combs anyway. She's now 21 wks old.
I spend a lot of time researching, and from what I've learnt, in most breeds, the wings go to the bum on girls, an the boys their wings are shorter. Bantams are harder to tell between 4 & 11 weeks

ok, I downloaded so I could compare, petrol looks like he's got 4 layers.. Where your index finger is, there's the top short layer, then another short, a medium and then the primaries.

When you look at the girl, she's only got 3 layers that I can see anyway
