Cockerel?

[Momma*chicken]

We recently bought 26 chicks, 5 of which were straight run. We r pretty sure we have a cockerel. When we got them tractor supply was closing so the guy was kind of rushing us and I couldn't really study them, but I am now seeing that we most likely have a boy. I know feather sexing isn't always accurate, but he is almost 2 weeks and has zero tail feathers. Here r some pix of the chick in question next to a hatch ate. The one in question has no tail feathers and very little feathers on the wings. They r australorps

It would be easier to tell if the pictures weren't in red light

I took a pic of them separately while holding them... Sorry if the pix aren't that clear they wouldn't stop moving lol
Here's the boy in question, his rump, his feathers and his head

2 weeks is way too early. Just enjoy them, I had 4 of that breed and posted pics on here at 8 weeks, some on here thought 1 was a boy, she wasnt. They are great egg layers and friendly girls. They all mature and feather out differently, I know how hard waiting is but really only time tells.
