I am worried about these two because of the tails. This is my first chicken experience so i am not sure if a tail like this means pullets or cockerels!
i just could.t upload directly, so i made an online album for the photos.

the first one is an EE, she is one of the smallest birds of the lot. Behavior is submissive, middle/bottom of pecking order. I read all the threads on sexing, and the comb is small and light, and i don't see obvious red/color on chest and shoulders, but i just can't tell. Second shot is a close up of the head.
the third and fourth shots are a mystery breed (was supposed to be an australorp, i know it's nowhere close)
Fifth shot is an EE and also 9 weeks and i know it's a pullet - the tail is SO different! and she is much bigger than the other EE.
last one is a buff japanese bantam that i suspect may be male? also 9 weeks.
many thanks!
