1. Observe the buttocks: You can try to distinguish the sexes by carefully observing the buttocks of the chicks. Gently remove the small fluff on the buttocks of the chicks and observe whether there are small meat spots in the ** part. If there are small meat spots, it usually means that it is a male chick; Female chicks are likely to be smooth and without small meat spots. This method may work on some varieties, but it is not 100% accurate.

2. Observe the demeanor: The chicks that have grown for more than a week can try to distinguish the gender from their demeanor. Hold the chicks on their feet and do a handstand to observe their attitude. If they show a strong attitude and their heads are hooked upward, they may be male chicks; And if they are weak, easily tamed, and have their heads downward, they may be female chicks.

3. Observe the appearance: Chicks that have been incubated for more than 7 days can try to distinguish the sex by the appearance. Male chicks usually have long and distinct wings and tails, large heads, and stout shiny legs; Whereas, female chicks have shorter wings, no pronounced tails, relatively small heads, and relatively thin legs and legs, which are usually dull.

4. Observe the feathers: You can try to distinguish the sex according to the growth rate of the feathers of the chicks. On the 4th day after hatching, if there are already new feathers on the chest and shoulder tips that are starting to grow, it usually means that this is a female chick; And if you don't start to see new feathers on the chest and tips of your shoulders until the 7th day, it's likely that you're a male chick.
