I got two buff Sebrights last week and at the moment they are two weeks old but when can I sex them how old do they have to be
 
Sebrights are an energetic bantam breed. They have an unusual feature among their male members: hen feathers! Unlike most chickens, male sebrights have rounded hackle and saddle feathers instead of pointed ones, and they have the same coloration as females. Watch their combs for sexing as they get older. Males should develop larger more prominent rose combs than females, and they are a little bit bigger than the girls. Males will develop a masculine, wide head, with larger wattles, and females will be more delicate and refined. They won't be old enough to sex for at least a few more weeks yet.
You will definitely know when you have a rooster when he crows around 3 or 4 months old for sure, lol.
