My Chicks are 2 weeks old now and One has a way longer tail then the others. Does it mean it is a rooster. I have pics if needed.

Feather sexing is more of a guess, and is most accurate at 1-2 days old since they grow so fast. Also depends on breed; and a picture couldnt hurt.

Tail grow out length and speed is more likely a function of breed, rather than just sex. Many cockerels actually have shorter tails at two/three weeks, waiting to grow them out proud later on.

Okay They are all mutts. Barnyard mixes. The one with the longer tail is more like my rooster. Her wings are longer then her body. They are almost past her butt.

I tried feather sexing they all seemed to be pullets. I am No expert. So I guess I just have to wait.
