A good indicator at this stage is which has a longer neck. The rooster will have a slightly longer neck.
I raised 6 chickens before but we just waited until their adult feathers came in to tell.
If you have a Tractor Supply Store or a co-op store near you go in and ask one of the olders guys. They will be able to tell you.

Because a boy chicken is a rooster. God, I hate chickens---roosters and hens alike.

Did you take them to the vet to get checked??? They can tell you. Or you can just wait and see wich is a rooster and which is a chicken. Good Luck!

A male of the species is a Rooster.

Chickens usually have to be "sexed", that is figure out whether they are girls or boys as soon after hatching and fluffing out as possible...unless they are a species of chicken that has a sex-link characteristic color. If the chicks are now two weeks old, you will have to wait until they show their adult plummage and characteristics to determine the sex of them. Good luck!

rooster = male! That's how you can tell the difference.
