At what age can you gender a chicken?

I’m not sure what the youngest age for gendering is.

Depends on the breed. Most need to be around 5-8 weeks to more accurately sex them.

Depending on lines, breed and genetics, technically some can be sexed on hatch

Thank you!

Agreed... some breeds you have to wait, some you don't. Some mixes are sex linked and you can tell from hatch... It all depends on what you have.
