This is my first time raising baby chicks.

[Vanessa12]

I helped take care of my sister in laws adult chickens and enjoyed doing it. So when she came and picked them up due to moving. My husband and I purchased different breeds the next day. Now I'm learning to raise baby chicks. How do you know if a chick is male or female. I had just got 3 of them from a friend and I don't know what the sexes are?

The ones that I purchased are baby chicks.

Hello there and welcome to BYC!

Congrats on your new babies! Once they grow and feather out, you can determine the sexes easier. A couple of months and you can post in our What Breed and Gender forums for more help. Enjoy your babies!
