again wait until they are older before asking about the sex - unless they are colour or feather sexed breeds or you can vent sex (and very few people can) you cannot tell for a few weeks. I guessed at 5 weeks with my araucanas and so far my guess of 3 boys is still looking right.
Just a word of warning if you do have a frizzle do not mate it with another frizzle.
