Welsummer - Do girls have long tails?

[HarrisonCreek]

Here is our Welsummer. I'm pretty confident she's a she. Here is an early photo of her eyeliner:


small comb, but long, sort-of "forked" tail??

The Australorp behind her is the crower:

I don't have experience with Welsummers, so I don't know if pullets naturally have long tails. However, I can tell you that your bird is definitely a pullet. Welsummer males would have different coloring by this age, and would have larger, redder combs and wattles.

Here is a picture of my Welsummer. I guess her tail is longer than my rocks. This was taken a couple of months ago so her tail has grown a bit.

On a breed like this, the shape/size of tail is kind of a moot point. Welsummers are easily sexed once they feather in. Males will have a black breast, females reddish. Your bird is a pullet.
