When u but a new chick, how do they know if its going to be a hen or rooster?!?! (Yes, I'm a brand new chicken farmer!) ;)
 
Some breeds or crosses are sex linked; ie, male and female chicks are colored differently. Hatcheries have trained personnel who can 'vent sex' young chicks with relatively high accuracy. With bantams sexing of chicks is difficult if not nearly impossible.
 
Ok thanks! I was wondering if there was a trick of some kind. I have some black and white speckled "big" chickens and some Rhode Island reds. They said when we bought them that they were all girls so wasn't sure how they knew. But no I do so thank you!! :)
