Well, you'll have to do what we all do

Keep them until they either crow or lay! LOL You can try the pendulum method to try and divine the sex before hatching... but it not a science and highly debated

Mine usually show pretty good at 4 weeks old the cockerels will still have down on the backs and the pullets will have feathers. The cockerels will also have a bigger redder comb
