At about a month, they can be "popped" to determine sex. However, if you have never done this, I would recommend taking them to a vet or to someone with experience. If done incorrectly, injury can occur.

Its not possible to judge by tail lengths, I use a micro probe when they are eating well.

Never worked with tricolors, but if those were southern hogs, the one on the right would be a female, the other a male.
