Just had a quick google, apparently they are feather sexed not sexlinked. So you should find out in a couple of days :thumbsup:

If I have got it correct, the males develop their wing feathers sooner than the pullets. So you should find out how many cocks and pullets you have, almost as quickly as sexlinked chicks.

I hope that makes sense
