not the squeeze their bum and look for a bump one
nor the hold them by the scruff of the neck and see if their legs dangle one!
Is there a easy way that works, I havent heard any cock a doodling yet!  :roll:

Is there one with a bigger coomb and wattles than the other is there one with a smaller coomb and hardley see the wattles ???


If they have a big coomb and big wattels then its a cockerel and if its got a smaller coomb and you can hardley see the wattles then its got more of a chance to be a hen .


Pics would help alot :tongue2:

Catii :tongue2:

Its very hard, almost impossible with most breeds, to be able to tell at 6 weeks. At this stage you can only compare the ones you have with each other. Wattles and Combs vary in size so much that at 6 weeks nothing is for sure. As Catii says, if you post piccies :wink: we may or may not be able to help :D
Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most!!

HOWEVER, like a lot of things these days you cant always tell the sex of something but the sticky up and hangy down bits :oops:  :shock:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:
