Old wives tale about how to sex chicks - tell me again?
Its if you hold them up side down by there legs, if it freaks out its a roo and if not then it is a hen. What you do is hold the little legs between two fingers in one hand turn them over (not very fast) and watch it for a min. or so if freaks out and tey for pick you it is a roo. the hen will...- maysouder

Sexing baby chicks and turkeys
The people that I have talked to say that when you hold the chick by its legs between your first and second fingers. If the chick try to peck you and wont relax than it is a roo. If it relaxes it is a pullet. Thats what some of the farmers do around us, they say it works about 99% of the time.- maysouder
