How to Tell If a Baby Chick Is Male or Female Simply
You can tell if a baby chick is male or female by checking its feather shape and comb size in the first weeks. Males usually have longer, pointy wing and tail feathers, while females show rounder, softer ones.
Males grow faster with thicker legs and bigger combs that get redder by week 8. They also act more assertive.
Watching these traits closely helps you spot the gender early on. Keep observing to learn more helpful signs.
