Okay, I know this is supposed to be 'easy', but I can't seem to figure them out. They all look the same! They are still quite young, but I believe they can be sexed at hatch? I have 7 that are about 8 weeks old, another around 6 or 7 weeks, 5 around 4 weeks, then another about 2 or 3 weeks. Any tell-tale signs I can look for? Some of the older ones are bigger than the others but if I remember correctly they weren't all the same size when I got them? I'll try to get pics tomorrow if you guys don't beat me up about their dirty building

Look at the back of the legs. The male will have the start of a spur.
 
Males Will Have Much Larger And More Pronounced Eye Patch... Very Easy To See Hatch- 2 Or 3 Days Of Age, Gets A Lil Fuzzy From 4 Days Of Age Til About 6-8 Wks Of Age And Clears Up Again

Fyi- Female Ringnecks Have Spurs Too
