You lift it up by the neck and if it's feet hang it's a boy but if it goes to the body it's a girl but be very careful with it's little neck!!! :)
Additional.... It depends how old the chicks are. By 4-5weeks, males will be large, aggressive and have tall, bright crests. Females are shyer, with not as bright crests.
By 10weeks the roosters will be obvious. Male chicks are yellow of colour whereas the female chicks are more of a brown colour.

∙ 15y agoThere is no way to determine the gender of an egg. The chick must hatch before gender can be determined. There is absolutely no difference between the fertile egg containing a cockerel or a pullet.

∙ 12y agoThe easiest way is to wait four to six weeks, after which the secondary sex characteristics begin to become apparent and only minimal training is needed. Telling the difference immediately after the chicks hatch require considerable expertise and the people who are trained to do it are referred to as "chicken sexers" (yes, really).

Edit added: Very true; so don't buy any of the so called 'egg-sexing' swing magnets and other devices sometimes offered for sale on Ebay!
They don't work! If they did work, don't you think hatcheries producing layer hybrid chicks would use them, thereby saving themselves millions of £/$/whatever?

∙ 12y agoA male chicken is also known as a rooster, cockerel, or cock. A girl chicken is also known as a hen or pullet. "Chicken" is not gender-specific, and can refer to either a hen or a rooster.
Male and female chicks appear much the same in most breeds of chicken, although some chickens have sex-linked color patterns that appear in the chick's down. Someone with the proper training can tell whether the chick is male or female by turning it upside-down and gently peering inside the chick's cloaca.
Most roosters crow, and most hens don't. Most hens will lay eggs at some point during their lives. However, elderly hens may start to crow.
Both hens and roosters have combs on the tops of their heads and wattles below their beaks, but the combs and wattles of roosters are likely to be larger and redder than those of hens of the same breed. (Some low-status roosters have smaller combs than hens, however.)
Examine the feathers of the hackle (neck), saddle (back, just before the tail), and tail. Roosters tend to have longer and pointier feathers in the hackle and saddle, and long decorative tail feathers. (Some species of chickens, such as the Golden and Silver Sebrights, are "hen-feathered", and roosters have the same feather patterns as hens.)
The spurs, pointy clawlike structures on the backs of chickens' legs near their feet, are generally longer in roosters, although even hens have little bumps called spur buds. These grow with a rooster's flock status.
A rooster will sometimes perform a courtship dance in which he lowers one wing and sidles up to and around a hen, sometimes almost tripping over his wing in the process. If the hen is agreeable, she crouches with her wings slightly away from her body, and freezes in this posture. Mating can then occur, although some roosters do not wait for the hen's agreement, and some hens will offer the mating posture to humans.

∙ 13y agoFirst off, I can tell you that a male chicken is a cockerel and that a female chicken is a hen. The easiest way to tell them apart at a glance is that a cockerel has a large comb and large tail feathers, whereas a hen has a small comb and a smaller tail.

How can you tell if the chick is going to be a chicken?
There are quite a few ways to sex a baby chick. If the chick is a pullet, then there will be major differences between it and the cockerels. For instance, they may grow slower, and will not have pronounced wattles and combs at an early age. Some breeds are color sexable, in which the male and female chicks are colored differently.
