I don't know this breed, but the usual way to sex chickens is by their comb color and size, shape and angle of tail feathers, shape and angle of saddle feathers, and over all size

Thanks so much! This breed is hen feathered so that is one of the biggest problems. We THINK we have 2 hens and 2 roos. Thanks again!

I have a trio of Silver Seabrights I bought as adults...the roo is bigger, and he has a pronounced comb where the girls have almost none. I have five chicks from them hatched under an Old English hen and they all look more or less identical to me but they are still very young...less then two weeks old.
