How can u tell if a chick is male or female?
The sex of most breeds of chicken cannot be determined at hatching. Usually, by 6 to 8 weeks of age, the combs and wattles of male chicks will be larger and redder than those of females, as in the photo of sablepoot chicks below (male on the left and females on the right). Often the legs of males are chunkier too.
