If they are young, sexing is extremely difficult and really can only be done accurately by someone with a lot of experience. If they are adults, there are very marked differences. Females are a lot smaller in size. Males tend to have much broader, larger heads, with bigger frills.
If they are older, you will likely need to do some separating.
