Black Australorp Chicks 7-8 weeks - help sexing

[NL6]

Hi, I have 4 unsexed chicks that are about 7-8 weeks old and I noticed one has a different tail so was wondering if it might be a roo? Listed as #1 and I posted 2 photos of it. Any help sexing them all would be much appreciated!

A bit early to be certain, but I suspect pullets if they're 8 weeks unless there's a super late maturing cockerel (unlikely).

Thank you! I am very much hoping you are right!

They look like pullets, but I would check on the one in the fourth pic.... it’s feathers puffed up and tail pointing downward make it appear to be sick or not feeling well. It may just be the timing of the pic but I would check anyways just to be on the safe side.

I noticed that too.

All are pullets.

Thank you! I think it was timing of the photo because she deflated shortly after that and normally looks this. She is the one I had the most difficulties taking a photo of because she is the most timid.

Oh good, glad to hear all is well. Maybe she was just trying to intimidate you by getting big and scary lol
