Just Hatched, lethargic! How to sex a Novogen Chick?

[Chicky-bock-bock-mamma]

I just had my chicks hatch last night, they are pretty lethargic, I gave some sugar water, hopefully the perk up! My questions are
1. How long till the littles perk up?
2. How to sex Novogens?
Thanks for your help.

When I hatched chicks I didn't give them sugar water they perk up after a day or two keep in mind they just came into the world they will be very tired good luck!!

If they are first generation chicks then they are sex linked which means the boys will be yellow and the girls golden, like this.....

boys on left, girls on right

If your eggs are laid by Novogen as parent birds, then the sex link does not breed true.
