Hen or rooster chicks

[Cf13]

I’m trying to figure out if my 2 week old chick is male or female. Could anyone help? Thanks.

Yes, it's a pullet or cockerel, but right now it is far too young to tell.

Ok, thanks. I’ve been seeing things about wing shape and color of the comb so it had me wondering. I hatched out 4 chicks and I’m afraid they’re all cockerels based on things I’ve read lol. I don’t even want to attempt vent sexing or whatever because I KNOW I’m not qualified for that

They're too old to vent sex now. You'll have to wait until they're at least 4 weeks old. Look for comb and wattle development. Males develop faster than the females so if you start seeing red it's most likely a cockerel. Fast or low feathering, wing shape, and behavior won't be good indicators of sex at this time. Feel free to post some new pictures in a few weeks.
