Nobody's screaming roo in those pics. At nine weeks I would expect to be seeing more comb. Looks to me like you've got a pen full of pretty little girls

With curled tail feathers? I have just never seen that on a pullet, but these are my first chicks from day one.

Those are just tail feathers molting out. Notice how the tail looks patchy, indicating that some have already fallen out? Cockerel sickle tail feathers would just be starting to comb in at about 12 weeks, and won't be obvious until a few weeks later.With curled tail feathers?
