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.

How do tell the difference between the leghorn rooster and hen?

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.

How can you tell if a chicken egg you just cracked open is fertilized?

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.
