Can you tell the sex of these by the tail?

[Ilovejesus]

Almost all the black ones but one have a longer tail being girls and all but one of the brown ones has a short tail being boys? They are two weeks old today.

No, chicks can not be sexed that way.

 

[Ilovejesus]

Aw. Weird I wonder why some have no tail and some have long tail feather.

 

[Gray Farms]

Are they all out of this hen? What rooster was she bred to?

 

[Ilovejesus]

No, just just took all the eggs from the nest box that day. None of them are hers.

 

[Gray Farms]

Oh ok.

Nope, they can't be sexed that way.

But, this is the way you can sex them:
Any birds from 6-8 weeks old until around 16 weeks, that has a red comb and wattles, is a cockerel. At 18-20 weeks, pullets comb and wattles redden as they begin laying.
At around 12 weeks, males develop pointy saddle, hackle, and sickle feathers. The saddles the most accurate though. Hens don't ever develop these pointy feathers, so if your bird has them, there is not question. Good luck, and if you are not sure, just go ahead and post some pics on here. We are glad to help!
