I have three 2 week old Lavender Orpington chicks. One of the chicks is not feathering out as fast as the other two. It barely has a tail, the other two have tails. The two with tails are feathered more and are bigger. The one without a tail is smaller has less yellow coloring and is more meek. Any guesses as to their gender?

Chick1, Chick2, Chick3 (from left to right). Chick3 has pretty much non-existent tail.


Chick2 and Chick1 on top with tails. Chick3 bottom no tail.

Here are some photos of their wing feathering at only a couple days old.

Chick1 and Chick2 feathers look like this:


Chick3 feathers looked like this:



Thanks in advance!
