This whole thing just sounds like a dream for ML. Have anyone tried it yet?

  You send some images to an API endpoint, and we send you back a determination of m/f. Sexing as a Service, SaaS?

    Isn't there already an app for this on Silicon Valley and subsequently real life? "Not Hotdog"

  Yeah I work at a face recognition company and have done a lot of work with sex classifiers and I'm pretty curious.

  I've thought about that, and in short, the problem would be acquiring the data in the first place. In the fully automated case, a machine would have to pick up the chick, turn it the right way, pop the vent, and release it, all without killing it. A rather complicated task for robotics, and this could get very error prone or very maintenance intensive. Next way would be to have a Human put the chick over a scanner in the right orientation. This solution is less attractive, because you still need to pay a worker, and that worker would only have to learn the sexing skill for a few weeks to be equally as fast as the machine...
