My Black Laced Golden Wyandotte has suddenly developed a droopy tail?

Here's the story. I used to have a super aggressive cochin cockerel. He would jump around and scare the other chickens. It was so funny! We rehomed him, though. I googled "jumping chicken" and got this. It's so funny!

I'm over my head with chickens right now, but if I ever get more, I'll take a look at this thread and try to pull off the quarantining a little better. Thank you!
 
Pardon their lacing. Unlike my silkies, they aren't breeder quality.


The bird in question. It is hard to get pictures of it:



The way it's standing makes the tail a bit less droopy.


Here's the other one without the droopy tail for comparison.


(Ms. Horrible Lacing photobombs. Sorry about that.)

Do you think they might BOTH be cockerels? Their wattles are bigger than my SLWs.





Also, thought you might want to see a picture of my cochin cockerel from when I still had him. He was half Production Red.
