Some breeds, known as sex links, can be sexed at birth however the methods vary depending on the breed. Generally speaking, the combs of the roosters will be larger than that of hens of the same breed. By the time a rooster is about 4-6 months old you should hear them crow, which is the one way to tell for sure as hen don't crow.
