How do you sex the chicks?

There are several ways. Wing sexing only works during their first few days. Males have wing feathers that are the same in length while females are uneven. And then males will get bigger and redder combs earlier than females. Their stance will be more upright and they will act more dominate.

Again, it varies. Like 8 weeks to 20 weeks

Most the time roosters feather in slower than pullets as well.
