Yes you can sex the chicks through their vent. A pro can properly sex a bird with better than 95% accuracy. Someone like me would get it right about 75% of the time.
just don't try this method backyard chickens.com (too funnyy)
The way I was told to flip the bird upside down and gently squeeze the body so the poop and stuff is excreted, then "open" the vent a bit and look inside. roos have pee-pees of sort. pullets don't
oh just did a search on google and returned this to me pullet/roo?
And oh there is a link to dirtiest job video.
hmmm the latter link says a pro can do it with better than 98% accuracy at a rate of 1000 chicks an hour.![]()
