Even at a young age, breeders can tell the difference between male and female mosaics because they are sexually dimorphic. The males generally have more orange around their face. In this picture the orange faced male is on the right and the pale faced female is on the left.

While I no longer breed mosaics, I included this picture to show the contrast in color between mosaic chicks and adults. The mosaic chick is in the foreground, the adult mosaic is in the background.

Mosaic chicks are a peachy-orange color until their first molt, at which time they change to their adult colors. The first molt usually occurs around 12-16 weeks of age and lasts for 6-8 weeks.
