| I have been peering at my chick's nether regions to see if it is a girl or boy. Does the vent come above or below the anus?! |

The vent is also the anus. Eggs and poo come out of the same hole  Cockerels and hens have no sex organs to differentiate, the cockerel has no "tackle"  |

Doesn't explain how it's done though  |

How do they ermm (thinks of a way to put it tactfully so it won't be sent to the sewer) fertilise the eggs if it's all internal ? |
