Unless someone knows better you may just have to wait a few weeks. Some say you can tell when they have feathered up by the shape of the hackle (neck) feathers. The hens being roundish and the cockerels being more pointy-ish. Otherwise you will have to wait until the males show obvious signs, being bigger, more masculine looking and annoying your neighbours by crowing ;D ;D
