Buy the chicks sexed from a hatchery.

They are correct 9 out of 10 times.

Vent sexing, or hatch Sex links.

Vent sexing wouldn't be best because you can really harm the chicks if you don't know what your doing.

The best way to sex a day old would be to give up and wait a few weeks.

What breed? Barred rocks and Welsummers are sexable pretty accurately at hatch.
