Sam?

Does a large fluffy tail mean hen or roo?

These 2 barely have any tail feathers but cobs are less pronounced..

Roos?


This is apricot...very fluffy tail..I have no idea about the gender.

I thinking they all look like pullets. A roo would have more of a red tone to the comb and these don't. But you can look at the primary feathers to tell, hens usually have a full span of two layers of feathers and Roos have one layer of feathers it's easier to tell when they are littler. hope it helps!!

What about the tail feathers? Three have very long and fluffy tails...the other two have very short tails... Will that help me decipher who is who?

My hens has a pretty big tail that was "vertical". The roosters had a big tail that was more fanned. That may not be true for all breeds. I had two "roosters" that I thought for sure were boys at 2 months old that turned out to be girls.
