First two chicks that I can positively tell sex on. 6 weeks old. Male on left. Female on right. They were almost identical as babies. The male will feather in darker later. The females don't seem to change much.

How can you tell what sex they are I have an 8 week old and can't tell.

I've raised enough that I know what the clues are in my line. The boy has bigger wattles and comb that are mulberry and the crest has been slower coming in. The girl's color gave her away almost two weeks ago as my boys never look like that. She'll look the same as an adult.

I have two others Im not sure on yet so I assume they are boys until they show otherwise.

Different lines are different so your mileage may vary

Normal partridge cockerel on the left and the one on the right is the male offspring of a partridge rooster over a splash/blue hen.
