You can tell as the feathers grow in on the breast and that is at 3 to 4 weeks old. pullets have salmon corored feather in the breast and cockerels have black It is not true that you can tell from the head color at hatch. Silver dorkings are not classified as an auto sexing breed like crested...

I am looking forward to them!
