how do you tell if chicks are girls or boys? I have been holding them by there feet(the ones that flap are girls the ones that don't are boys), but not sure if this works, thanks!
 
I wouldn't use that technique, you could hurt their legs, best to wait a few weeks, by 5-8 weeks most roosters will have pink or red combs and wattles and hens will have orange yellow yet.

That method works about 50% of the time... or about the same as guessing. ;)
