If they are only a few days old, you won't be able to tell. If they are several weeks, you may be able to tell by the size and redness of the comb and wattles (as with most breeds) and also the females have round pom-pom shaped crests whilst the males have spikier, more upright crests. Males also have bigger feet and thicker legs as they get older (again this is true of any breed). Good luck. Whenever I get unsexed chicks I always get twice the amount I need, and I EXPECT that there will be some roos in the bunch, and just accept that I will have to rehome them later when I figure out which ones they are (or cull, eat, whatever you do with excess roosters).
