[Southernbell]

When my eggs hatch, I have a couple of people that might want a couple, but only if im 100 percent sure that they're hens and not roos.

well...i have no idea how to sex a chick! So I would like for someone to tell me how and maybe with somepictures as examples? thanks!

well depending on the breed you may be able to sex them based on their markings

It really does depend on he breed, you can't tell instantly of its definitely a hen or roo with most breeds.
