It's very difficult to sex chicks unless they are colour sex linked

Hows your Geese?

And dangerous for the chick if you don't know what you are doing!

Sexing chickens is an art Brian says.  when he helped his frind at his turkey farm, the turkey sexer was 70 if he was a day, and charged £70 an hour!!!!!  And he wasn't always right either!!!  I've got a book, but I'm none the wiser!!!!

You may be okay once you know what breed, hopefully they'll be color sex linked.
