We have 8 x 6 week old Bresse chicks and we are wondering when they might (if not already) show signs of their sex and what those signs might be...? Thanks!!!

Yes, x2At that age the only way to tell is by comb size and color, and it may even be too early for that. If you post pictures on here of each bird we may be able to help.
Thanks for this. At what age should we expect to see something definitive? Currently 3 have distinctly brighter red and larger combs.

6 weeks is the right time to start. If you're seeing much growth and color in the combs at that age, then those birds are very likely to be cockerels.Thanks for this. At what age should we expect to see something definitive? Currently 3 have distinctly brighter red and larger combs. Pix to follow...
