Tail feathers are useless at this stage.Cockerel. For eight weeks, the comb isn't the size I'd be looking for on a cockerel, but the tail definitely is. See how it's pointed and curled? That's because he's a cockerel. A pullet's tail would be rounded and not curled (possibly shorter as well).

I'd say probably 10-12 weeks old, since that's normally when males start growing their rooster feathers and their combs definitely stand out.At what age do you usually know for sure?
