I'm sure you could find it of you did a search

The males, and only the males, will have red/rust/pink colored feathers on their vents. Females do not get these at all. The only problem is that not all males get them, but mainly it's the whites, splash/pieds, and some of the silvers that don't. All other colored males should have them.

Many people say that the bib is a sex determinator. This is not true. I have males that don't have bibs and have had females that did

The 'hehehe' sound is not crowing, that is a sound both males and females make. It seems that my males do it more than my females do, but they still both do it.

The crowing sound that only males do sounds like the wind blowing.
