You can't...you can only tell when they mature and whether or not a comb develops...hen or rooster?

Hi! I am an experienced poultry/other fowl owner. Ok, days olds, by hatcheries are "vent" sexed (by thier rear) but, for me it is tough to tell and not very pretty. I do this: take your first and second finger and hold the chick's head, if it scratches and struggles, it is probably a rooster, if it sits there, it is probably a hen. Do not worry, it doesnt hurt them. It is not 100% true, but, you never can be. I sometimes go to other, more experienced people, they always hav their tricks of the trade.

well you really cant do your self maby the a feed store or a tractor supply could tell for you.and you really half to wait till there big enough .if you haven't got any yet you can find places that sell them bye ether hen or rooster.

Unless they are sex links (special cross breeds where you can tell by the down colour at hatch what their gender is), then there is vent sexing, but that's very difficult and skilled to do. Most people wait until they are about 8 weeks old, which is when the comb and wattles start getting bigger, and the tail feathers get pointy rather than round.
