I’ve noticed but unsure if it’s 100% true but every society’s chicks I’ve had the ones with a brownish tint and bit more of a curve on the beak always seem to come out a female is this true or coincidence

Female one my old chick (got her back now)

Male one my other old chick

Not clear photo on the male but you can see what I mean

I can't tell the sex of a society finch until it sings, or lays an egg.

Fraza As Lori said, there isn’t really any visual indication of Society Finch sex. Males do a dance known as the “puffy dance” where they puff up, stretch their neck upwards and perform a trilling type of song. Females do not do this.
