      Take the chick by the neck very carefully and if the chicks feet curl up close to its body its a female but if they hang down then its a male chick.

        You can "vent" your chicks but that can only be  done the first day they are born.
        Depending on some breeds you can tell around 5 weeks but some differ but you can tell around that age by looking at their combs around tha t age there will be some that have pinkish/reddish combs and that will be the male aka cockrels.Some females will start yellowing or getting a little pinkish.and when they get older, if you step inside your coop the females will usually always  be the ones that shy away, but that isnt always accurate.

        Hope this helps you!

        1. Wash hands, so you and your chick are in good health.
        2. Pick the chick up by it's neck with your pointer finger an thumb.
        3. If it's feet hang low it's a male, if it tucks it's legs up to it's body it's a female.

        Yes there is a quick way to tell that how many are male chicks and how many are female chicks. There is a big red soft skin on the head of male chick. The female chicks either don't have it or if they have, they are very small.

          The red skin (Comb) is different sizes on different breeds, but in general the male's comb is larger, even early on. Some breeds can be I identified by coloring, or wing development, some are checked at the hatchery from the inside, it all depends on the breed.
