the way i have used for years to sex a chick was to pick it up by just its head. If it fights its a rooster if it just struggles for a sec then just hangs its a hen for me its been 80% effective but as for looking i was told once if you raise the yellow fine hairs just above the tail on the back and see a small slit or opening its a hen and if not its a rooster, I have had some luck with that but i found it faster and accurate enough just picking them up by the head.
Silkies are hard chickens to find out their gender. Either you can vent sex them, which should only be done by a professional because you can hurt or even kill your chick. Or you can just wait until the chicks are old enough to lay eggs or if it crows.
The chick makes a sound that the parents can recognize
The age of a chick can be estimated by looking at physical signs such as feather development, size, and behavior. Additionally, a chick's age can be determined by looking at the hatch date or consulting a breeder or experienced poultry keeper for more accurate information.
You cannot tell unless the egg has been incubating for 48 to 72 hours. The fertilized egg looks no different from an unfertilized egg until the chick actually starts to form. Fertilized eggs, collected daily and refrigerated do not start the process of becoming a chick for awhile after being laid. It takes the right temperature (100F) and humidity(50%). If you are looking at a blood spot or the white spots found in a fresh egg and think that is a sign, you are mistaken. Blood spots form for many reasons, most are from internal problems in the hens oviduct. The white spots inside an egg are Chalsae, a protein that holds the yolk centered in the albumen. It is a common error by consumers. An egg that is forming into a chick will have clearly defined red lines running from the top of the yolk and spreading out on all sides. See the link below if you wish to follow the actual formation of a chick inside an egg.
The easiest way is to look at the comb and legs. Male chicks usually have a larger comb and legs than the female chicks. You can't ever tell 100% though even hatcheries don't always sex them correctly.
no the color of the chick only tells the breed. i can tell you that if you have more than one chick the roosters in the flock will mature faster and that is how you can tell the gender
I'm not sure if chick peas increase stamina but i can tell you this: they are high in protein. Try looking in Wikipedia
Bantams will be roughly half the size of a regular chick.
As far as I know, there are no guaranteed ways to determine the gender of a chick from at home, at least until they are mostly mature.
tell him you are to beautiful for him =)
they shake...

There is no definite answer to an unborn chick's gender, even if you candle the egg. Some breeds, you can't even tell until it lays an egg.
Yes - you can already tell by looking at the game sales in Japan.
Simply just tell her your done
There is no difference.
by looking in its mouth. It must be white clean and shiny. And no bad breath.
