they are notoriously hard to sex..

The colour of they eyes is usually a good indicator. The redder they are the more likely they are to be male...

Size of the head, males having more pronounced jaw muscles. Shape of the body etc.

However at the end of the day the only real way to sex them is to probe or x-ray them. Probing has it's drawbacks and can lead to sterility and prolapses. X-ray will tell you 100% but once again may cause sterility.

Most of the time you just have to guess..then you end up with two males like me! bless em.. Smile
