how can you tell?

 

[Tricoglossus]

Curved sickle feathers in the tail (compare them to your hens - the hens have shorter, straight, blunt/rounded feathers in the tail) and he's getting long pointed saddle and hackle feathers.

This has been very helpful!I bought 8 polish game mix chicken a few moths ago. i was told all were hens except one and he dosent have any tail feathers. I have 2 that grew very long curled tail feathers now im sure they are roosters ! im wondering why the one rooster (Rudy) has no tail feathers and they others do???? Im guessing because they mixed?
