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)

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.
