Ancona Chick Can You Tell Apart Male vs Female

[chickens802]

I got a free surprise chick with my order and I figured out it was an Ancona but I don't know how to find out if it is a male or female. It is only a few days old. Probably a male because it was a free chick but I would love to know for sure. If anyone knows how to tell them apart at such a young age please share.

How old? Picture?

You will not be able to tell until it is minimum 5 weeks. MAYBE 4 weeks for an early developing male. While the majority of "Free" or "Mystery" chicks are male, some hatcheries send females, too.
