I remember reading somewhere that, in general, baby chicks might be gender identified the tail length at a young age (2 weeks). But I don't remember which one had the long tail versus no/short tail. I almost think it was the pullets that had a longer tail first, and the roosters had short/no tail.
I hatched a bunch of back yard mutts, so breed type is mixed. I realize that it's possible that different breeds have different tails, but I have also hatched some full RIRs and noticed that some of them develop a long tail quickly, while some have short/stubby/no tails until later.
Thoughts?
