i had a look a them tonight and one seems to have a fully white body by the looks of things, with only a black line going through one of the flights, but I'll have to wait for the neck feathers to start coming through ;)

I'll check Ian's gallery now ;)

I would love for some one to show me how to sex chickens with wing feathers. Shame we can't get together and have a training day. :(

Can you spot the difference in wing development in the first week?

I've got some older light sussex and I can see what you mean when they are much bigger, but I've never had the chicks before. How long before you can tell?

Its easy when you have chicks the same age CL and eggsalive, i could tell from about a week and a half with the pekins, the gals wing and tail feathers grow much faster and the lads wings look stunted i would say compared to the gal and his tail feathers are much the same they develop much slower.
:-D
Hope this helps you a little ;)
