No much help buddy; Plan A: If it crows chances are it is a rooster; If it lays an egg it definitely is a hen. Plan B: There is a way of sexing with the flight feathers. I know it is quite accurate for newly hatched chicks good luck.

You can also vent sex but that is more invasive and requires expertise. If you are anything like me Plan A is what you will mostly likely use.
