I'm struggling to sex my four chicks.
I THINK I have 3 males and a female, but this is going off head/body size only.
The problem is- the stripe under the wing.
One chick has a broken double stripe, one has one broken stripe, and 2 have no stripe at all.
These chicks are not all from the same parents.
Are mutations making sexing more difficult?
Is anyone else having similar problems?

Thats great info, thanks!
2 chicks are 4 months now, the others are 2 months. Shall take a good look at beak length, might be easier- as one from each clutch is pied.
:)
Much appreciated!
