Abstract: The present application is directed to identifying a gender of a chick. A method includes: causing a chick to transition along a path that is associated with a stimulus for provoking an open stance by the chick; obtaining one or more images of the chick in the open stance; determining one or more gender-related features of the chick based at least in part on the one or more images; and determining a gender of the chick based in part on the one or more gender-related features. One or more portions of the method can include any various machine learning techniques, such as supervised machine learning and/or unsupervised machine learning. For example, a supervised machine learning approach can be employed to train a neural network to identify a pose of a chick, identify gender-related features associated with the chick's wing, and/or assess the gender-related features for making a gender determination.
