Thanks, I've posted it on other forums and looks like I may have got them all right except one, but I still like more opinions.

Hi,
They are so sweet are they as fast as people say?

Photo of females 8.5.4.3.2.1
Photo of males    9.7.6

This is just an experiment but old methord I have been trying.
Get a sewing needle and thread, like your going to sew a button on.
Hold it over the chick, if it goes in a circle its ment to be a girl, then if it goes in a straight line a boy.
Have a go its fun
