EE Tail question Difference between Roo and Pullet,

[Joe.G]

Hi, I have two EE that seem to have one or two tail feathers that stick out further then the rest, I don't have pic's at the moment but is there a difference between hen and roo's tails?

When they get their adult feathers the cockerels what are called sickle feathers and the pullets will not.

Do you guys have Pic's of the different tails and of the sickle feathers?
