egglicious Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 My chicks are about three weeks old. Some of them are very docile and a few are pretty assertive and bossy. Could these be the cockerels? Can you sometimes tell the gender of a chick by the way they act? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Its not very reliable no, sometimes you do get an idea from a chick's stance and behaviour that it may be male but there will usually be bossy females and quiet males too in any batch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
