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.
