Once they are mature there are a couple of traits that can help sex them visually. The most common method is from their calls.

Hens will look right at you while males will look at you from the side as they sidle around you trying to size you up.

In laying season hens will have a raised "bustle". Males will never have a raised bustle.

After pairing up, a male will lie in one spot while the hen forages in a circle around him.
