How do I sex 1 month old chicks?

[ChickeninaBiscuit57]

Hey!! I have a BUNCH of 1 month old chicks and I have no clue on how to sex them. I’ve tried to looking on Google but that wasn’t helpful :/ I would usually wait untill they are like 2-3 months old but I have too many and I’m trying to sell a majority of them! Help would be appreciated!!

There really isn't a way to tell for sure, unless you want to spend the money for DNA testing.

You can sell them as straight run chicks.

Usually it’s too early, but post some pics and let us take a look at them. There are some breeds, notably bantams, that may give you clues early on….

Pullets are practically impossible to find at this point, you'll really only be able to sex the obvious males

What kind of pics? Wings? Heads?

Just show us the whole bird(s)
Btw, what breed(s) do you have?

Here are some examples of my Sebright mix chicks who could be sexed very early. They hatched on May 4, (2 yrs ago.)
This first pic would be May 30--you can see that the chick on the left has a bigger comb, he's an obvious male at 26 days.

Here they are with a couple of others on June 13th, so they would be about 5 wks old. The 3 boys' combs are very red, and wattles are showing too:

Not all breeds can be sexed this early. But these are the things you look for...
