~6 months old GENDER/breed guesses please

Nope. Sometimes it gets confusing as the color of the feather can make it look pointed, this is common on Easter egger hens and sometimes laced birds like wyandottes. But the feather itself is still rounded on a hen.

There are rare breeds where the roo is "hen feathered", the Sebright coming to mind. They don't have the long, pointed feathers. I think there are also some game cocks that are hen feathered. But no rooster feathered hens.
