Dick...that's a tough one...I know with my Plymouth Barred Rocks, it's easy, the hens are darker than the males once they start to feather. I've also seen the pin feather method on the wings....here's a good comparison of a pullet and a cockerel One Day old Chicks. This picture is very good: http://animalsciences.missouri.edu/reprod/ReproTech/Feathersex/sld006.htm Here's the main link on feather sexing: http://animalsciences.missouri.edu/reprod/ReproTech/Feathersex/ Best of luck...Scooter
