    How do you determine the gender of these 1.5 month old chicks?

    I made a thread about 30 minutes ago, and I got plenty of responses helping me find out the gender of these chicks. However I would like to know what to look for to help me determine their genders. On chicks that are around this age and size, what should I look for?
