∙ 16y agoSexing chicks is a very difficult job to do well.
Vent sexing or identifying the sex of a day old chick by looking at its sexual organs is done by very few, very well trained people. It takes a long time to learn how to identify the more than 15 different shapes.
Feather sexing is based on feather characteristics that differ between male and female chicks.The feather appearances are determined by specially selected genetic traits that must be present in the chick strain. Most breeds of chickens do not have these feather sexing characteristics and the feathering of both sexes appear identical.
The easiest method of sexing chickens by the small flock owner is to care for the birds until they begin showing the natural secondary characteristics of their sex. In males, the combs and wattles will become larger than those on females and the head will become more angular and masculine looking. The female will remain smaller than the male and is more refined or feminine looking. Sexing based on secondary sex characteristics can usually be done after chicks are 4 to 6 weeks of age.
