Gender 5 weeks?

[NatJ]

Is five weeks too early to tell gender? If not what do I look for?

You can often tell some of the males at that age, but not be certain of the gender of every chick.

Among a batch of chicks, the ones with bigger redder combs at that age are usually males.

But some males mature more slowly, so it can take quite a while before you know for sure which are females and which are just slow males.

Thank you!
