Look at the tail feathers of your baby chicken. A roosterâs tail feathers tend to be longer and brighter than henâs feathers. A roosterâs tail feathers are the easiest way to tell him apart from a hen, when he is grown. Unfortunately, as a chick, you canât really tell the difference.
Hens will lay eggs without a rooster but if you want your eggs to be fertilised so that they can produce chicks then you will need a rooster. If you are planning on having a small backyard flock then it is best not to have a rooster as they can be noisy (crowing at daybreak) and some of them can get quite aggressive.rom the time your chicks hatch until 6 weeks of age you will need to feed them chick starter mash with a protein level of 20 percent.
