It is usually a simple matter to pick out males at about a month old. They sport much larger and brighter head furnishings and are usually far more precocious than their sisters. With heavy breeds it is sometimes easy to determine the pullets by their faster and more even rate of feathering. Males feather more slowly and in a more patchy manner (but this is not always the case with some strains).
The best method therefore, is by observing the chicks behavior. Startle the chicks by sailing a hat or similar object over their heads and watch their reactions. The cockerels will instinctively stand erect with their heads upright and will emit a peculiar warning chirruping sound. The pullets will tend to crouch down low and remain silent.
The other methods of sexing chicks are not as reliable for novice breeders are as good as guessing.

How can you tell if a chick is a boy or a girl?
It's actually extremely hard to tell baby chicks apart until they are quite a bit older. You can learn to tell the difference by looking at the chick's vent, but this is hard, not always accurate, and a bit disgusting. After a month or two, most roosters start to develop slightly bigger, redder combs and wattles than the pullets, depending on the breed. Even then, some roosters will develop later and some pullets get red combs and wattles early. If you still can't tell after one or two months, then after three months or so, you definitely should be able to tell. The young roosters will almost certainly have noticeably bigger, redder combs by this time, and be making 'rooster-ish' sounds, and most or all will be crowing. Most people cannot tell baby chicks apart, but telling slightly older chicks apart gets easier the longer you keep chickens.

How do you tell male and female aqudatic turtles apart?
Well, male and female aquatic turtles are easy to tell apart in a few years. If they are not at least 4inches long, you cannot tell what is a male or a female. A female is usually much more bigger than males when they are grown-up. Also, a female has a more broader head (neck) than a male. A male has a longer, thicker tail than a female, and it has much more longer, nastier nails than a female. Those are about it how you can tell them apart. I hope this helped you.
