When do their beaks change color so I can tell their sex? I have all black beaks. I dont think I could be lucky enough to have hatched all hens. Also, how old will they be when true feather coloring comes in or does it not really change?

I have a one tom in with 2 hens and they are breeding. The tom has become aggressive. He was never a sweet bird.
