Sex of my Vorwerk chicks!

So you know for the future, when you go to sex the first thing you look at is the comb. If its big and red at this age, and the waddled are red and prominent, its a cockerel.
Hens will have smaller pale combs, and less prominent waddles.

Once they get older, you look at hacked feathers, saddle feathers, and comb. If that doesn't give enough information to guess, then look at the size and shape of the tail feathers.

In the above pic, the features are very prominent. Usually they won't be nearly as prominent in an 8 week old, or still young cockerel. But, pointed hackle and saddle feathers along with comb size is what you will look for in older poultry.
