The males have a small lump by their earholes but it is very hard to see.
I wait for them to crow and mark them.
Try taking one out of the cage and see if anyone starts a ruckus.

That usually works here, and then mark the males with bluekote, zip ties whatever is handy.

Well, the obvious ones are...
Crowing (boy)
Laying an egg (girl)
Foamy droppings (boy)

I am too much of a rookie to know any others yet.

Males will have a red ball behind the vent,unless they are not getting enought light. males are also slimmer

In vent sexing the males will have a small pimple like bump...hens will not. Also the males you can actually press your fingers lightly together near the upper vent and if a white foam (almost looks like foam mousse) comes out that is a male...this substance isn't sperm, however it aids the sperm when breeding.
Foam substance (please note that you will ONLY get this foam when the birds are in breeding season..otherwise you'll just get a spit-like substance that I have learned is NOT the foam even the hens can express this spit substance so it's not a good way to sex...also these males that are in breeding season will have swollen bottoms):
