I know of 2 ways. 1 is hold them upside down and count to 5. if it makes it keeps fighting at 5 its a rooster. (not as reliable as this next 1). The sure was is by the wing feathers. pull out the wing and look at the tips of the feathers. if they are squared off its a hen but if there pointier thay are a rooster.

Looks similar to my BSL pullets.

This is when Soot was about 4-5 wks old.

This is a few days ago, she is about 7 wks now.

what is a BSL pullet?

 

[Ms.Frizzle]

BSL= Black Sex link. Its parents were a cross between a Barred rock hen and a Rhode Island Red rooster. They get their name from the ability to sex the chicks based on their appearance at hatching. Males will have a white spot on its head. Since you're doesn't have a spot, we can assume its a girl, unless its a different breed.
