I started growing some asparagus plants a few months ago as pecking toys for my chickens, then I learned that these plants have genders. After some of them gave seeds, I thought why not and planted them. Now I have all female asparagus plants, but I wanted males because they're wider. How do I tell the gender for next time?

Asparagus plants take years to mature. What makes you think you got only females?
 
You won't know until they become mature. Then the females will produce seeds/berries, and the males will not. The ones you planted from seed are NOT all female. Most likely, you will have some of each.
