Did a recheck on gender, & the yellow chick turns out to be a boy, & the brownish one is a girl.
This how they're looking so far.

I think we've told you before that wing sexing is not applicable to this cross....

I've been doing this type of sexing for quite awhile, sometimes I do make mistakes, but alot of the times I'm correct. We'll be able to tell the gender 100% once they hit around 6-7 weeks of age. That's when the comb on the boy should be larger, & pinker then the girl's.

I know. I've been raising chickens for a long time and know how to sex chickens. Who's the teacher and who's the student?

Fyi, none of the breeds you are using are fast feathering so it's impossible for this to be accurate. But of course, you already know this. You will be wrong sometimes, because logic.

The one on the far right had a HUGE comb at hatch. SHE now lives at my uncle's place and is laying eggs. So comb does not matter at hatch.

Single comb is different. And like Isaid, my experience with one breed from two sources. May be a breed thing.

Chick Growth Update: 1 Week Old. Should've waited longer on the yellow chick. It's a girl, due to over lapping middle primaries.

Yep. The brownish one's wing feathers aren't the same as the yellow chick, but I was able to tell it's gender at a day old.
