I KNOW there are different schools of though on how early you can spot a rooster. But I've got two buffs with baby wings, and no tail feathers. All four others have long wings and tail feathers. What do you think? The place I got them guarantees sex, and told me I could bring them back, but we've gotten attached to them:( Here are some pics. I think it's pretty noticeable....

I've posted a question on our town fb page to see if I can even have roosters (Mendon, MA.)





 
Last year I ordered 8 buff pullets, and 2 were roosters. I was suspicious early on. The ones with shorter wing feathers and minimal tail feather growth at 2 weeks both turned out to be boys. I gave one away but kept the one that was better with the ladies.
Two to Three week old male:
400

4 week old female
400


You can see the difference.
