I have 2 BLRW chicks that are 12 weeks old, but have very few tail feathers. Is this normal? If so, when will they start getting tail feathers? I am still trying to figure out if they are pullets or cockerels.

Here are all 7 of the chicks at 11 weeks. The Black Copper Marans cockerel is really starting to show some pretty feathering and also trying to crow. I initially thought my 2 EE were pullets, but I am becoming more convinced they are both cockerels. The Russian Orloff is a cockerel. I'm not...

Will putting fake eggs under our broody Australorp keep her broody? She just became broody on Sunday and I ordered some eggs, but they aren't available until the first week of May. Thank you for any help you are able to provide.
I have one cockerel and three pullets.
Here's to hoping this cockerel has a better attitude than the last one. The last EE roo we had was extremely aggressive.
Here are updated pictures of the chicks at 9.5 weeks. I definitely think the first one is a cockerel and the "twins" are pullets. The pure white one I think is a pullet, but the downward curl of the tail feathers have me questioning myself. Any input would be appreciated. Thank you!
