How do you tell? Are there things to look out for or is it just you can see it with experience?

 

It's comb size. A rooster will be developing a bigger comb by that age, whereas hens combs will still be small, not floppy at all, almost like a toothed ridge on top of the head. In the new pic the brown chick (technically a pullet now I think) looks to have a more developed comb than the white one so could be one of each. You should be able to tell by eye easily if there's a difference between them. A roo might be trying to crow now too. Bit of a comedy performance at that age!

Actually not if it's male.

Bloody gatekeeping terms. It's clearly a chicken.

I'd rather starve than eat KFC, it's just deep fried sh1te eaten mostly by overweight idiots.
