Try and get a picture of it onto this web page and we'll do our best to help.

Edited to add.

Do you know what breed it is?

How old?

Large or small comb, big or small feet & legs?

Feathering?

Etc...

It depends on the breed. Sexlinks are clear from day one. There are some self-sexing breeds that are "mostly" clear from day one like barred rocks. I believe the ones that take the longest to show are EasterEggers and Silkies. The professional vent sexing must be done before they start to eat.
