I might have an opportunity to get some 1 or 2 weeks old white Leghorn chicks almost for free. Is there any reliable way to tell their gender that early? I would obviously like to avoid ending up with a bunch of cockerels.
 
At 2 weeks my boys comb was still yellow but it was thick. I'd look for the chicks with the smallest and thinnest combs. Also the ones with the most feathers.

Good luck and I hope you end up with all girls!
