EE chicks Is it true you can tell gender by tail feather length?

[Silverose]

out of 12 10 have long tail feathers coming in and 2 have short ones still I read that with EE chicks the boys take longer to get their tail feathers.

Also,.. any idea what gender this one is?

The tail feather length isn't an indication of male or female. I wish it was but alas, no.

Your chick is too young to accurately sex. It is feathering in with pullet colors but its got some pretty thick legs and a "no-nonsense" expression lol

Some of these chicks are very difficult to sex. I have a 2.5 month old EE with a HUGE pea comb, otherwise girlie features and will duke it out with her hatch-brothers (and usually win). Since I'm not willing to give away a possible pullet near POL I'm sticking to my policy of "you crow, you go" LOL
